Summary

This study investigated the performance of the two-bed, silica gel-water adsorption refrigeration cycle with mass recovery process. The cycle with mass recovery can be driven by a relatively low temperature heat source. In an adsorption refrigeration cycle, the pressures in the adsorber and the desorber are different. The chiller with mass recovery process utilizes the pressure difference to enhance the refrigerant mass circulation. The cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) were calculated by cycle simulation computer programme to analyse the influences of operating conditions. The mass recovery cycle was compared with a conventional cycle such as the single stage adsorption cycle in terms of cooling capacity and COP. The results show that the cooling capacity of mass recovery cycle is superior to that of the conventional cycle and the mass recovery process is more effective for low regenerating temperatures.
