Summary

Paper published in poster form during the conference. Ammonia – carbon adsorption heat pumps for domestic use have been a focus of research at the University of Warwick for many years. The continuing challenge is to devise a sorption generator which has excellent heat transfer to an inherently poor conducting medium, minimal thermal mass and low manufacturing cost. This paper presents the design and manufacturing of a novel carbon-ammonia adsorption generator heat pump for application to an air source domestic gas fired heat pump and also shows preliminary testing results of the complete heat pump system. This laminated generator has the characteristic of delivering high heating power at a high efficiency but having an inexpensive manufacturing cost.
