THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A TWO-BED ADSORPTION SYSTEM USING A NOVEL ADSORBER CONFIGURATION

摘要

To improve the performance of an adsorption system for cooling applications, a novel integrated adsober/evaporator configuration made of a bellows structure was described. A two-bed adsorption system arrangement using the bellows adsorber and zeolite I3X/water working-pair and related mathematical analysis was also presented. Results of computer modelling and experimental tests of various operating and performance parameters of the system including operating temperature and pressure in the adsorbent bed, mass transfer, COP and SCC were discussed.
