Abstract
The purpose of our study is to develop a compact adsorption refrigeration system. Use of high pressure refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or CO_2 is one of approaches to reduce a system size because the volume flow rate of refrigerant can be significantly reduced. In our previous studies, adsorption equilibrium of activated carbon-R32 pair and activated carbon-R1234ze pair were measured and theoretical adsorption cycles were investigated. In the present study, we attempted to obtain kinetics of activated carbon-R32 pair from time series data of adsorption uptake. The paper reports the time constants of adsorption for activated carbon-R32 pair.
