“…The undesirable exothermic behavior of adsorption processes reduces the adsorption capacity (BILOÉ; GOETZ; GUILLOT, 2002) hence heat exchange systems have been developed, such as U-tubes (BASUMATARY et al, 2005;RAHMAN et al, 2011;YANG, X. D. et al, 2005) and phase change materials (PCM) (BLAZEK et al, 1990;LI;LI, 2015;RACKLEY, 2010;SAKANAKA et al, 2020) inserted in packed bed adsorption systems. The latter offers great potential because they are capable of storing substantial amounts of energy.…”
