Rz. Wang et al., EXPERIMENTS ON HEAT-REGENERATIVE ADSORPTION REFRIGERATOR AND HEAT-PUMP, International journal of energy research, 22(11), 1998, pp. 935-941
A heat-regenerative adsorption refrigerator using spiral plate heat ex
changers as adsorbers and an adsorption heat pump for air conditioning
using plate fin heat exchangers as adsorbers have been developed and
researched, experimental research results are shown. The activated car
bon-methanol adsorption pair is used for the two adsorption systems, w
hich yield a refrigeration power density of more than 2.6 kg ice per d
ay per kg activated carbon and 150 W kg(-1) activated carbon for air c
onditioning, respectively. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
