Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The goal of this work is to describe R&D on solid sorption short cycles heat pumps (lower or equal to 10 kW) using physical adsorption and of value in space and domestic applications. A new solar-gas heat pump based on solid sorption phenomena was designed and tested. This heat pump has a very short (12 min.) non intermittent two adsorber heat recovery cycles with an active carbon fibre as a sorbent bed and ammonia as a working fluid. The complete facility test is described. The first goal of this work is the experimental determination of main heat pump parameters using solar-gas high temperature source of energy and air-water as a low temperature source of energy to heat air-water. The second goal is the experimental analysis of thermal-hydraulic characteristics of thermosiphons used to heat and to cool a solid sorption machine. The third goal is the experimental investigation of new type loop heat pipes used as cooling panels.
