This patent describes method of transferring and recovering energy. It comprises forming a slurry of a liquid selected from the group consisting of long chain alcohols, ethers, glycols, glycol ethers, sebecates, phthalates, aldehydes and ketones and a solid sorbate which does not dissolve in the liquid and is capable of forming a solid/gas compound with a gaseous refrigerant, mixing the gaseous refrigerant with the slurry whereby the gas forms a solid/gas compound with the solid sorbate, and exposing the slurry mixture to a heat exchange surface whereby the energy from the formation of the solid/gas compound is transferred to the heat exchange surface.
