Experimental investigation of the adsorption characteristics of silica gel + water system.

Author(s) : WANG X., CHUA H. T., NG K. C., et al.

Summary

This paper presents and compares the experimental isothermal data of silica gel + water systems collected from two independent experimental methods, with respect to the constant-volume-variable-pressure (CVVP) system and the variable pressure thermal-gravimetric analyser (TGA). Two types of silica gels (Fuji Davison type A and type RD) were investigated under a range of experimental conditions (temperatures from 303 to 338 K and pressures from 500 to 7000 Pa) that are representative of actual operating environments in the adsorber of an adsorption chiller. The data collected from the two independent experiments compare favorably with each other and their characteristics are consistent with those provided by the chiller manufacturer.
