Adsorption refrigeration cycles for low-temperature waste heat recovery.

Summary

The paper aims at clarifying the possible operating temperature ranges for silica gel-water adsorption refrigeration cycles driven waste heat sources (between 40 and 85 °C) with relatively small regenerating temperature lifts (15 to 55 K). A two-stage silica gel-water cycle, which can be operated effectively by a 55 °C driving heat source in combination with a 30 °C cooling source is introduced and compared with a conventional (single-stage) cycle. These cycles are evaluated in terms of cooling capacity, COP and their operational viability with the near-ambient temperature driving heat sources. A cycle simulation computer program is developed.
