Type of article: Article

Summary

In Japan, the R&D of adsorption heat pumps conducted in research laboratories, at universities and companies has focused on cooling applications. Most projects look at waste heat recovery at low temperatures of 60-80 °C. Two companies have commercialised adsorption refrigerators using water/silica gel pairs with cooling capacities of 70-350 kW. Research is currently concentrating on developing machines using new advanced cycles that can be operated at lower heat source temperatures (40-50 °C). Another topic that is being studied is the use of an ethanol/activated-carbon pair.
