Prototype rotary regenerative adsorption air conditioning system.

Summary

The paper presents the technical specifications of a prototype rotary regenerative adsorption air conditioning system that uses high performance multiple modules. The prototype designed for up to 1.5 kW cooling power with a COP of about 0.90, has 32 modules built into a cylindrical assembly that rotates slowly. Each module is made of two finned stainless tubes and has three main sections: the generator with its finned tubes lined with about 2.7 mm layer of monolithic carbon made in situ; the receiver (evaporator-condenser) and the adiabatic section placed between the receiver and the generator. This prototype has three independent air ducting channels for the generator, the evaporator and the condenser respectively. The cycle is highly regenerative since the heat rejected by each module is used to preheat the others. The machine is suitable for gas firing.
