Analytical study of a gas-fired adsorptive air-conditioning system.

Summary

An analytical study to predict the overall heat transfer coefficient in an adsorber has been conducted and is presented here. This study, based on a method-of-moment analysis, shows the influence of three parameters limiting the heat transfer in adsorbent beds. The machine utilizes a zeolite-water pair. It is designed to produce 3 kilowatts of cooling. Expected cooling performances are 300 W/kg of adsorbent with a COP close to 0.8 and a cycle time of 20 minutes. The thermal conditions used to test the cycle are: the heater, 220 deg C; the cooler, 40 deg C; and the evaporation temperature, 3 deg C.
