Study of Solar Driven Silica gel-Water based Adsorption Chiller

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...

An Adsorption Chiller Driven by Thermoelectricity

Simulation of the Silica Gel-Water Adsorption Chillers

A mathematical model describing the behaviors of current commercialized silica gel-water adsorption chillers is presented in this study. Comparing with the previous study, this model comprises (i) a realistic representation of the thermal mass of the associated piping materials and fins; (ii) a distributed modeling of the reactor bed for the sorption processes. The model is demonstrated on a tw...

Solar Cooling System Using Solar-Driven Hybrid Chiller

We developed an appropriate Absorption chiller to "Solar cooling system" in 2010. In addition, we added the improvement to the machine. "Solar cooling system" can be easily constructed with the machine. and, we constructed the demonstration plant, and verified the utility

Solar Adsorption Cooling: A Case Study on the Climatic Condition of Dhaka

An analytical investigation has been conducted on the performance of an adsorption chiller driven by solar collector panel for the climatic condition of Dhaka. A set of mathematical model and simulation technique are exploited to investigate the system performances of solar driven basic adsorption chiller with silica gel-water as adsorbent/adsorbate pair. For base run condition, at least 13 col...
