Adsorption heat pump using carbon fibre/ammonia and heat pipes.

Summary

Solid Sorption Machines are the subject of interest as a potential heating systems for green houses, dryers, air conditioners and residential heat pumps with different sources of energy application (gas flame, electricity, solar energy). The ten-adsorber's set-up with 5 kilowatts heat output was designed and tested based on carbon fibre/ammonia pair and finned heat pipe heat exchangers to heat and to cool the adsorbers. A numerical modelling of a heat pump was done based on two-dimensional non-stationary heat conduction equations. Experimental results demonstrate the good parameters of heating/cooling system.
