An activated carbon–methanol adsorption refrigeration system is tested, in which the performances of a granular bed and a solidified bed are compared. Results are presented and the effects of heat and mass transfer are analyzed. It is proved that the coefficient of performance of refrigeration...

A micro-CCHP (micro combined cooling, heating and power) system is proposed and investigated. It mainly consists of an internal combustion engine (ICE), an adsorption chiller (AD), a thermal management controller (TMC) and some other devices. The waste heat of ICE is collected and managed by the...

In order to optimize design and operation strategy of air-source heat pump water heater, an experimental set-up and simulation model were constructed. Also, a methodology of optimizing operation, which takes into account thermostatic and timing control patterns, was presented and applied....
