Performance Evaluation on Mass Recovery Three-Bed Adsorption Chiller

Numerical Simulation of Advanced Adsorption Refrigeration Chiller with Mass Recovery

This paper investigates the thermodynamic framework of a three-bed advanced adsorption chiller, where the mass recovery scheme has been utilized such that the performances of this chiller could be improved and a CFC-free-based sorption chiller driven by the low-grade waste heat or any renewable energy source can be developed for the next generation of refrigeration. Silica gel-water is chosen a...

An Adsorption Chiller Driven by Thermoelectricity

Development of a Solar Powered Adsorption Chiller

Heat driven cooling technologies like vapour absorption and adsorption systems are environmentally friendly. Use of thermal compression in these systems saves precious and fast-depleting fossil fuel resources. Solar energy and low-grade waste heat can be effectively used in running these cooling systems. The present work focuses on the development of a solar-powered vapour adsorption based cool...

Design and Performance of an Innovative Four-Bed, Three-Stage Adsorption Cycle

The design of a four-bed three-stage adsorption cycle has been proposed to reduce the volume of the six-bed three-stage adsorption cycle. A simulation model for the proposed innovative cycle was developed to analyse the influence of cycle time on the system performance identifying the specific cooling power (SCP) and coefficient of performance (COP). A particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniqu...

Adsorption of metal ions on bed sediments

The adsorption of lead and zinc ions on bed sediments of the River Kali in western Uttar Pradesh, India, has been studied. The role of the coarser sediment fraction (210-250 jtm) in controlling metal pollution has been elucidated and compared to those of the clay and silt fractions. The parameters controlling metal uptake, viz., solution pH, sediment dose, contact time, and particle size have b...
