Experimental method to determine the isosteres of adsorbent/adsorption pairs of adsorption cooling systems

Abstract

It is explained how to determine the isosteres in conditions of saturation, for the levels of temperature and pressure with which usually operates in the systems of cooling by adsorption with the use of solar energy. The method allows obtaining the kg of refrigerant per kg of adsorbent to perform the design of cooling systems of a certain refrigeration capacity, from the mass of refrigerant that is absorbed and desorbed. The accuracy of the method is influenced by the quality of the instruments used in the experiments.
