Experimental results and modeling tests of an adsorptive air-conditioning unit.

Summary

Experimental tests have been performed on a zeolite-water adsorptive system suitable for air conditioning and consisting of two adsorbers filled with a consolidated composite made of zeolite mixed with a highly conductive matrix. The paper describes the experimental results of such a heat pump unit operating with a heat and mass recovery cycle. A predictive model explains the mass transfer resistance in the adsorbent. Last, a new highly conductive adsorbent composite with good mass transfer properties is developed. The model is used to predict the performances of this new material. Very good specific cooling power and COP can be achieved.
