Performance Study of Waste Heat Driven Pressurized Adsorption Chiller

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article presents a transient modeling and performance of a waste heat driven pressurized adsorption chiller. This innovative adsorption chiller employs pitch based activated carbon of type Maxsorb III as adsorbent and R507A as refrigerant as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. This chiller utilizes low-grade heat source to power the cycle. A parametric study has been presented where the effects of adsorption/desorption cycle time, switching time and regeneration temperature on the performance are reported in terms of cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP). Results indicate that the adsorption chiller is feasible even when low-temperature heat source is available.
