Performance of MIL-101(Cr)/Water Working Pair Adsorption Refrigeration System Based on a New Type of Adsorbent Filling Method

摘要

MIL-101(Cr) and water were applied to adsorption refrigeration technology. MIL-101(Cr) was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method and characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N adsorption–desorption measurement at 77 K, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption isotherms of water vapor on MIL-101(Cr) were investigated by using a gravimetric water sorption analyzer. This study established the basic adsorption cycle mathematical model and used MATLAB/Simulink for the simulation. The control variable method was used to simulate the effect on the cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) when the desorption temperature changed. When the adsorption temperature was 35 °C, the evaporation temperatures were 15 °C and 20 °C, and the amount of water vapor equilibrium adsorption on MIL-101 (Cr), Cooling power per unit adsorbent mass (SCP), and COP were measured by using the adsorption performance test rig on the basis of a new type of powder adsorbent filling method.
