Abstract
The study aims at designing silica gel-water advanced adsorption refrigeration cycle; the cycle called "Single-Double Cascaded Adsorption Cycle" is proposed to provide high performance. The proposed cycle consists of single stage cycle and double stage cycle; the cycle can use heat source with cascading and always supply chilled water through two evaporators. Therefore, the recovery efficiency value and cooling capacity of proposed cycle are expected to be higher than those of conventional cycles. The performance of proposed cycle is compared with those of conventional single stage and double stage cycles by simulation analysis. The results show that recovery efficiency and cooling capacity of proposed cycle are improved at heat source temperature between 55℃ and 80℃. Moreover, experimental results with 6bed adsorption chiller are compared with simulation results. The results present the suitability of simulation model; the advantage of Single-Double Cascaded adsorption cycle is presented experimentally.
