Design of a gas-fired carbon-ammonia adsorption heat pump.

Number: AD-SY-1122

Author(s) : METCALF S., RIVERO PACHO A., CRITOPH R.

Summary

The University of Warwick is currently developing a carbon-ammonia adsorption cycle gas fired heat pump with a target Gas Utilisation Efficiency (GUE, the ratio of heat output to gas input) of 1.25 using air source, but at a much reduced size and capital cost compared to alternative machines on the market (<4 times). Previous research focussed on the development of micro-tube adsorption generators (Critoph and Metcalf [1]). Whilst these achieved high power density and efficiency, they proved difficult and costly to manufacture. This work describes the design and construction of a carbon-aluminium laminate adsorption generator, which has both low thermal mass and high power density whilst being cost effective to manufacture.
