Study and Theoretical Calculation on New Type of Adsorption Chiller

Abstract:

One of improving refrigeration performance of adsorption chiller methods is optimizing adsorption chiller structure. A new type of adsorption chiller was proposed in this paper, which obtained two adsorbers, evaporator, condenser and vapor valves between adsorber and evaporator and between adsorber and condenser. The vapor valve was the very important component of the adsorption chiller, which was controlled by pressure difference of both sides of vapor valve. Compared with normal adsorption chiller, the vapor valve replaced the tubes and vacuum valves between adsorber and evaporator and between adsorber and condenser. It can reduce the total equipment size, and decrease the pressure loss of refrigerant flowing in the refrigeration system. Working mechanism of vapor valve and working process of adsorption chiller were investigated, and the theoretical calculation of adsorption chiller was carried out. These works were important foundation for design of adsorption chiller.
