小型コジェネレーション排熱利用冷房のための活性炭-エタノール吸着特性に関する研究

抄録

A simple adsorption refrigerator may improve the total performance of small gas-engine cogeneration system, as exhaust heat can be utilized for cooling during summer. In this research, combination of ethanol and active carbon (Maxsorb) were selected for this operation, and operation characteristics and the optimum porosity of adsorbent bed were studied with numerical analysis. The result shows the porosity range around 0.4-0.5 gives the best performance from the balance between mass and heat transfer in the adsorption-desorption process.
