Study of heat driven zeolite-water based adsorption chiller and compare its performance data with other adsorption chillers

With increasing widespread usage of refrigeration systems, the global warming issue has never been more important to be dealt with. The existing dominant refrigeration system is the vapour compression refrigeration system which utilizes refrigerants that are harmful to the environment. Adsorption re...

description With increasing widespread usage of refrigeration systems, the global warming issue has never been more important to be dealt with. The existing dominant refrigeration system is the vapour compression refrigeration system which utilizes refrigerants that are harmful to the environment. Adsorption refrigeration system might be the solution to this problem because it is environmentally friendly and has the ability to be powered by renewable energy or waste heat. This study aims to study on an adsorption refrigeration chiller using zeolite-water working pair instead of the conventional silica gel-water working pair. An experimental study was conducted on the chiller with a 100KW water heater as the heat source that provides hot water input, a 10KW water heater to simulate as the cooling load for the system and a cooling tower was used to provide cooling water circulation to the system.
