Adsorption cooling using adsorbent-coated surfaces.

Author(s) : DUNNE S. R., TAQVI S. M.

Summary

The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of using adsorbent-coating surfaces for adsorption cooling. Experimental results are presented for a two-bed system in which a UOP proprietary adsorbent is applied to heat exchange surfaces and water is used as the refrigerant. Because of small heat-transfer and mass-transfer resistance in the adsorbent coating, it is possible to run the process at extremely short cycle times, resulting in a large specific cooling power (Watts per kilogram of adsorbent). The adsorbent developed for this application can be regenerated at low temperatures (95 to 110 deg C), which makes the UOP process ideal for industrial cooling applications when low-grade waste heat is available.
