Two bed silica gel-water adsorption chillers: an effectual lumped parameter model.

Author(s) : WANG X. L., CHUA H. T.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

This article develops an improved lump-parameter design model to investigate the water-circulation heat recovery scheme as applied to the two-bed silica gel-water adsorption chillers. The authors demonstrate that performance predictions stemming from this improved lump-parameter formalism compare favorably with experimental results at various conditions, particularly at the industrial rated conditions. They find that the present lump-parameter formalism adequately elucidates the water-circulation heat recovery scheme as does the distributed-parameter formalism. In the studied working condition of a two-bed silica gel-water adsorption chiller, the differences in cooling capacities and COPs by using the two different formalisms are typically less than 10%. This gives rise to a useful and rapid design tool for the industry.
