Performance Study of a Solar Adsorption Refrigeration System

Abstract:

This paper presents the simulation of a solar-powered continuous adsorption air-conditioning system with the working pair of silica gel and water. In order to make the adsorption system more suitable to use solar energy to supply cooling continuously during daytime, a new adsorption system without refrigerant valves is being developed in SJTU recently. By using this system, the problem such as pressure drop along refrigerant circuit can be resolved. The frequent switches of refrigerant valves can also be omitted. The daytime long simulation results (ranging from 6:00 to 18:00) demonstrate that the solar-powered adsorption system can supply a fairly steady cooling output all the time. Based on the results, parametric study is also undertaken to optimize the design.
