Growing energy demand and global climate change are compelling reasons to look for effective utilisation of waste thermal energy and renewable energy resources. Fifteen percent of the electricity produced in the whole world is employed for refrigeration and air-conditioning processes of various...

Environmental concerns and the rising energy cost necessitate looking for renewable energy driven environmentally benign adsorption cooling systems. Solar powered adsorption chillers with non-concentrating flat plate or evacuated tube collectors face the problem of not getting adequate driving...

This article presents the dynamic behaviour of a single effect two bed adsorption chiller employing adsorbent beds with various layers of loose grain configurations and silica gel particle sizes, which is based on the experimentally confirmed adsorption isotherms and kinetics data. Compared with...
