Summary

Adsorption (also called “solid sorption”) refrigeration systems use solid sorption material such as silica gel and zeolite to produce cooling effect. These systems are attracting increasing attention because they can be activated by low-grade thermal energy and use refrigerants having zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. The adsorption refrigeration system has several advantages compared to the absorption refrigeration system.
