Abstract:
In this paper, a detailed thermodynamic and parametric analysis of simple and
regenerative cycle of an adsorptive machine using the activated carbon AC-35/methanol as
adsorbent/adsorbate pair is given, where the Dubinin-Astakhov equation is used to describe
the isotherm of adsorption. Results are presented in terms of performances. These results
demonstrated that the performance coefficient of double bed adsorption refrigeration cycle
increases with respect to the single bed configuration.
Several main factors affecting the performance of cycle, the heat recovery ratio, the
regenerative heat and the temperature at the end of heat recovery are discussed according
to the results of computer simulations
