Summary

The article presents a transient model for a two-bed, silica gel-water adsorption chiller. Compared with their previous cyclic-steady-state model, the authors found very good agreement between their model prediction and experimental data. They found that, regardless of the initial mass distribution, the chiller was able to achieve the same cyclic-steady state within four cycles or 1800 s. They also demonstrated that the manufacturer had empirically evolved to select a fixed switching and cycle time such that the best peak evaporator temperature suppression, and near maximum cooling capacity can be achieved by a compact design.
