ShareAdsorption heat pump modelling: the thermal wave process with local equilibrium.
Author(s) : SWARD B. K., LEVAN M. D., MEUNIER F.
Type of article: Article
Summary
This paper describes a model for a thermal-wave adsorption heat pump cycle. Local equilibrium is assumed, providing the asymptotic best-case performance. The model is utilized to examine the performance of adsorption refrigeration cycles powered by low temperature waste heat sources of 373-393 K. The impact of varying system temperatures, bed cycling frequency, valve positioning, and sectioning of the bed are examined. Cycle COPs were greater than 1.2 for the base case of a 393 K heat source, 303 K condenser temperature, and 278 K evaporator temperature for a cycle utilizing a water/NaX zeolite adsorbate/adsorbent pair.
