Abstract
We have developed an adsorption heat pump that can utilize low qualitative heat with lower than 100 degree Celsius to convert to cold heat. To meet a market of a small scale equipment of the heat pump with several kW, we decided to reduce its volume to 10L/kW. In this report, we developed a test device with the volume of 30L/2kW to evaluate its performance. New adsorption cores coated with zeolite adsorbate and reed type valves are adopted to reduce the volume. The heat pump produced 1.4kW/30kW of 12 degree Celsius chilled heat with 80 degree Celsius of heat source.
