Adsorption heat pump and refrigeration systems are noiseless, non-corrosive and environment friendly. For these reasons the research activities in this sector are still increasing to solve the crucial points that make these systems not yet ready to compete with the well-known vapor compression...

A detailed analysis and simulation of heat transfer of an evacuated tube for a solar-powered adsorption refrigerator, including inhomogeneous radiation heat transfer between its inner and outer tubes, two adjacent tubes in the group, the tube and back plate, sunlight reflection on back plate,...

In order to study the refrigeration performances of the resorption refrigeration technology, the resorption working pair of BaCl2–MnCl2–NH3, which has the similar working requirements for the heat source and cooling source, and also could satisfy the similar refrigeration requirements with...

Adsorption refrigeration and heat pump systems have been considered as important means for the efficient use of low-grade thermal energy of 60–150°C. Sorption systems are merely thermodynamic systems based on heat exchangers, and therefore a good design to optimize heat and mass transfer with...
