First Law Analysis of Adsorption Cooling System
Abstract: Steady state thermodynamic differential analysis is developed for the adsorption-based cooling systems. The introduced thermodynamic model represents the behaviour of adsorption cooling systems, based on a precise, reasonable, and clear fundamental approach. The energy conservation principle is used to analyze components and processes in the system. The dynamics of adsorption is expressed using Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption equilibrium model. Energy interactions are evaluated to determine the theoretical performance and the operating parameters …

Investigation of Solar Cooling Systems based on Small-Scale Sorption Heat Pumps
Abstract: This paper presents the development and investigation of solar cooling systems based on small-scale sorption heat pumps and chillers, respectively. Ammonia or water absorption chiller with a cooling capacity of 12 kW, a 17.5 kW water/lithium bromide absorber, the chilled WFC18 and two water or silica-gel adsorption chillers with cooling capacities of 7.5 and 15 kW, all single effect, are specified as core components of solar cooling systems. Up to …

Parametric Study of a Solar Heat Driven Silica Gel–Water Paired Adsorption Chiller
Abstract: Heat driven sorption based cooling systems are gaining interest as they are environmentally friendly and have the potential to save precious fossil fuel resources. Low grade thermal sources like solar or waste heat can run a silica gel-water paired adsorption chiller to generate chilled water below 10°C. However, the performance of the adsorption chillers is poor when compared to vapour absorption or vapour compression based cooling systems. An effort has …
