Abstract:The objective of this study is to evaluate the solid sorption technology for residential cooling applications. The solid sorption technology uses natural gas as the primary energy source for compressing and circulating the refrigerant in the air-conditioning system. The system delivered 6.7 kW of cooling at 35°C outdoor temperature. The cooling gas COP was 0.32 at 27.8°C outdoor temperature. An ammonia vapor compression system was established and tested by operating a steady state mechanical compressor in plac… Show more
