Physical and operating conditions effects on silica gel/water adsorption chiller performance

Performance Simulation of Two-Bed Adsorption Refrigeration Chiller with Mass Recovery

“…Ahmed et al [8] investigated the effect of changing fin spacing, generation temperature lift on chiller performance of a silica-gel/water adsorption system. Evangelos et al [9] the effect of the heat-exchanger design parameters and the effect of space velocity of the thermofluid on system performance.…”

Calorimetric measurements of the dynamics of a finned adsorbent: early assessment of the activated carbon cloth–ethanol pair with prismatic aluminium fins

“…Nonetheless, some workers have 290 employed linear driving force models (LDF) to simulate adsorption heat pumps (e.g. [27], [28]) but more 291 recently LTJ has been proposed as giving a direct scaling to give the cooling power of real chillers with 292 no requirement for sophisticated modelling [10]. A benefit of using LTJ for finned structures is that in 293 mimicking AHP boundary conditions it accounts for the heat capacity of ACC and aluminium.…”

Numerical Investigation of Silica Gel-Water Solar Adsorption Cooling System with Simulink

“…The two-bed silica gel-water adsorption chiller was studied by several researchers (Benelmir et al, 2013;Saha et al, 2001;2003;Hildbrand et al, 2004;Liu et al, 2005a;Zhai and Wang, 2010;Luo et al, 2010;Rezk and Al-Dadah, 2012;Voyiatzis et al, 2008). Moreover, this adsorption couple is widely studied in the literature.…”
