Experimental investigation of water uptakes under static and dynamic conditions for cooling application

The amount of uptake – offtake difference is an important factor for the design of cooling systems. Adsorption cooling depends on the acquiescence of the adsorbent properties. The material needs to be insoluble in the mixture, exhibit stability upon exposure to oxygen, moisture, temperature and has...
