“…In order to provide maximum efficiency under specified operating conditions [9][10][11] a two, three and four beds are numerically studied heat and mass recovery. Performance can also be improved on the heat transfer inside the bed by studying the effect of fin design parameters.…”
A dynamic model is presented for a chiller working with a composite adsorbent (silica activated carbon/CaCl 2 )water pair in a solar-biomass cooling installation. The main objective is determining a link between two possible evaporator configurations and the refrigerator's performances. The two considered evaporators work at different pressure levels. The related time evolution profiles of temperature, pressure and water content are studied. Moreover, the effects of hot water inlet temperature and cooling water inlet temperature on the specific cooling capacity (SCP) and coefficient of performance (COP) are predicted by means of numerical simulations. The results show that an increase in the temperature of hot water and a decrease in the temperature of the cooling water allow an increase in COP and SCP. In particular, for a hot water inlet temperature of 85°C and a cooling water inlet temperature of 40°C, the COP and Qev are 0.67 and 4.3 kW, respectively.

“…Details on principle and operation of the basic sorption cooling cycle can be found elsewhere (Ziegler (2009)). More complex adsorption cycles, based on multiple adsorbent beds and different heat and mass transfer recovery schemes, have been proposed to improve the adsorption chiller thermodynamic performance (Aprile et al (2020); Muttakin et al (2021)).…”
“…The mass recovery based sorption processes were accelerated using additional heating/cooling mechanism [32,33]. Innovative combined heat and mass recovery schemes were also applied to boost the AD cycle performance [34,35].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
