STUDY ON A NEW SOLID ABSORPTION-REFRIGERATION PAIR - ACTIVE-CARBON FIBER METHANOL

Our experiments show that active carbon fiber (ACF) might be a good su bstitute for activated carbon (AC) as the refrigeration capacity Q(f) and adsorption time of ACF are three times more and 1.5 similar to 1/1 0 of those of normal activated carbon (AC), respectively. The COP for ACF-methanol could be 10 percent similar to 20 percent higher than tha t of AC-methanol. Thus ACF-methanol might be a good adsorption refrige ration pair for constructing adsorption refrigerators, especially thos e for household applications.
