Performance simulation of multi-bed silica gel-water adsorption chillers
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 07:25 authored by Xiaolin WangXiaolin Wang, He, Z, Chua, HTAdsorption chiller technology is one of effective means to convert waste thermal energy into cooling, which substantially improves energy efficiency and lowers environmental pollution. This article develops an improved lumped-parameter model for multi-bed silica gel-water adsorption chillers. It is validated by experimental results stemming from a fourbed silica gel-water adsorption chiller at various operating conditions. It is found that the performance predictions from this model compare favourably with experimental results. At all tested conditions and over a wide range of cycle times, the cooling capacity and COP can be predicted to within 10% and 12%, respectively.
