Summary

In this paper, the experimental results of a lab scale adsorption chiller working with hydrophobic Y zeolite-methanol are presented and discussed. The main feature of this chiller is the innovative adsorbent bed consisting of a shell and tube heat exchanger in which the finned tubes are coated with a zeolite layer. In this way, the interesting adsorption properties of the Y type zeolite and the good heat transfer quality of the coated heat exchanger are joined in an advanced adsorption machine, driven by a low temperature heat source.
