Performance Results of a Solar Adsorption Cooling and Heating Unit

The high environmental impact of conventional methods of cooling and heating increased the need for renewable energy deployment for covering thermal loads. Toward that direction, the proposed system aims at offering an efficient solar powered alternative, coupling a zeolite–water adsorption chiller...

Description
Summary:The high environmental impact of conventional methods of cooling and heating increased the need for renewable energy deployment for covering thermal loads. Toward that direction, the proposed system aims at offering an efficient solar powered alternative, coupling a zeolite–water adsorption chiller with a conventional vapor compression cycle. The system is designed to operate under intermittent heat supply of low-temperature solar thermal energy (
