“…Adsorption chillers align perfectly with the trend toward sustainable development and are increasingly in demand due to the growing availability of low-grade waste heat. Another advantage of these chillers is their compatibility with solar thermal energy generation systems, making them a valuable solution given the limited availability of fossil fuels and the increasing use of renewable energy sources] [4][5][6][7][8]. Adsorption chillers also offer several other key benefits, including non-corrosiveness and a lack of moving parts, which enhance their reliability.…”

“…Adsorption chillers also offer several other key benefits, including non-corrosiveness and a lack of moving parts, which enhance their reliability. Additionally, they do not rely on chemicals to produce cooling, making them environmentally friendly and unlikely to contribute to the greenhouse effect as traditional cooling solutions can [4,9]. Moreover, besides cooling, adsorption chillers also produce desalinated water.…”

Adsorption technology utilizes low-temperature renewable and waste heat sources for cost-effective and environmentally friendly cooling and water desalination systems. However, the problem with existing adsorption refrigerators is the low COP. This is caused by poor heat and mass transfer in existing packed bed designs. The solution to this problem lies in the use of fluidized bed technology, which enhances heat and mass transfer mechanisms. Various approaches to the construction and operation of adsorption systems with a fluidized bed of adsorbent can be found in the literature; hence, the aim of the work is to analyze the existing applications of a fluidized bed in adsorption refrigerators and other systems utilizing sorption beds. There are many methods for improving the energy efficiency of adsorption refrigerators. However, the literature suggests that fluidized bed systems have the potential to significantly improve the energy efficiency of adsorption cooling and desalination systems. Based on the review, it was concluded that using fluidization technology in adsorption cooling and desalination systems can be beneficial and represents significant potential for future research.
