Performance Study of Activated Carbon – Hydrofluoro Olefin Based Adsorption Cooling System Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In this study, a dynamic behavior of a two bed adsorption chiller has been analyzed using highly porous activated carbon of type Maxsorb III as adsorbent and hydrofluoro olefin [R1234ze (E)] as refrigerant. R1234ze (E) has a low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). A parametric study has been presented where the effects of adsorption/desorption cycle time, cooling water inlet temperature and regeneration temperature on the performance are reported in terms of cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP). This chiller can be driven by the waste heat of internal combustion engine and hence it is applicable in automobile air conditioning.
