| Summary: | In this study, a dynamic behaviour of a solar powered single stage four bed
adsorption chiller has been analysed designed for Malaysian climate. Silica gel and
water have been used as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. A simulation program has been
developed for modeling and performance evaluation of the chiller using the
meteorological data of Kuala Lumpur. The optimum cooling capacity and coefficient
of performance (COP) are calculated in terms of adsorption/desorption cycle time and
regeneration temperature. Results indicate that the chiller is feasible even when low
temperature heat source is available. Results also show that the adsorption cycle can
achieve a cooling capacity of 14 kW when the heat source temperature is about 85 |
