Study of adsorption characteristics in silica gel–water adsorption refrigeration

General review of solar-powered closed sorption refrigeration systems

“…However, this pair has a low adsorption capacity as well as a low vapour pressure, which can hinder mass transfer. Furthermore, this working pair requires vacuum conditions in the system [17,90,91]. Main applications for this working pairs are refrigeration, water cooling and ice-making.…”

Assessment of the adsorber surface density influence on the performance and operation of the intermittent SAR system

“…The S-B-K isotherm model [38][39][40][41] is employed in the present work. The S-B-K isotherm model can be expressed by,…”

Transient behavior of a cylindrical adsorbent bed during the adsorption process

“…Efforts on the development of a novel commercial cooling system have been extensively diverted to the thermally driven adsorption based cooling systems in the recent years since these systems are environmentally friendly and can be operated with a low-grade heat sources such as solar energy or waste heat [1][2][3][4]. However, still the thermal powered adsorption cooling systems do not seem a desired level to be able to compete with the traditional vapor compression cooling systems as far as their performances are concerned [5].…”
