Pressurized-cycle based electro-adsorption chiller

An electro-adsorption chiller (100) is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, the chiller (100) comprises a condenser (108) for cooling refrigerant, an evaporator (102) for dissipating heat from a location, and two reactors (104, 105) comprising two reaction chambers (112, 114) in fluid communication with the condenser (108) and the evaporator (102). Each of the chambers comprises an amount of absorbent (124, 126) and capable of operating in adsorption and desorption modes, and the chiller (100) further includes two thermoelectric devices (106, 107), each of which is received within a corresponding reactor (104, 105).
