Summary

States the performance of traditional solid sorption heat pumps can be improved by designing the system with multiple beds. Employing the concept of multi-beds, the beds can be preheated using the energy from other beds in the system before they are fully regenerated by an external heat source. Likewise, the beds can be precooled before the adsorption process begins. Shows that the cooling capacity of a three-bed system is significantly higher than a two-bed system, while the COP improves only slightly. However the performance of a four-bed system (i.e. both COP and cooling capacity) improves significantly as compared to the two-bed system.
