Simulation of the solar adsorption refrigeration operating at near atmospheric pressure
conference contribution
posted on 2001-01-01, 00:00 authored by Y You, Eric Hu, J Jarvis, Yuncang LiTo solve the leaking problem faced by current vacuum adsorption refrigeration systems, the authors have carried out a series of studies on the concept of raising the system's pressure to around atmospheric pressure with an inert gas (eg. Helium) as the pressure-adjusting agent. This paper presents the simulation of the performance oj the activated carbon-methanol adsorption refrigeration operating at near atmospheric pressure powered by solar energy. This simulation can be refereed in the prototype design.
