Abstract


In this study, an investigation of the influence of the adsorption refrigeration system parameters, within their limiting range, on the system performance and operation is introduced. A   thermodynamic differential model is developed to analyze the system components and processes of the thermodynamic operating cycle. The analysis is based on a clear fundamental approach which is based on the energy conservation principle and dynamic equilibrium of the adsorption process. Activated carbon‎‎‎–‎methanol as working pair is used in this work. The effect of condensation, evaporator, ambient, and the maximum cycle temperatures on the adsorption cooling system behavior are explained and clarified. Moreover, the influences of the heat capacity of the metallic casing of the adsorption reactor as well as the total bed porosity variations are studied as well.
