Abstract
For improving performance of the GHP system in summer season, an adsorption refrigeration cycle is useful to utilize the waste heat exhausted from the gas engine. We introduce a unit cell as a model of adsorber, which has a single tube bound by silica gel on the external surface, to make easy to analyze the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in the adsorbent. This paper deals effects of the fin pitch of the finned tube on progression rate of adsorption process. As a result of discussing about optimization of the adsorption process, it was found that the adequate fin pitch existed.
