Experimental investigation of a silica gel-water adsorption refrigeration cycle. The influence of operating conditions on cooling output and COP.

Summary

Experiments were conducted with several heat transfer fluid operating temperatures (hot, cooling and chilled water), flow rates, and adsorption-desorption cycle times, and good qualitative agreement was obtained with the simulated results. Both experiments and simulation showed that the silica gel-water adsorption cycle is well suited to near-environmental-temperature heat sources and small regenerating temperature lifts, which help reduce the heat losses intrinsic to batched cycle operation.
