Abstract
Adsorption refrigerators are able to generate cold water using low temperature waste heat, and are effective in reducing fossil fuel consumption and peak electric loads. In order to facilitate introduction of adsorption refrigerators, miniaturization of the machine and further lowering operation temperature are essential. In the present study, we experimentally investigated two-stage adsorption cycle with three Beds, which conventionally needs four Beds, using FAM-Z01 and Z05. The results showed that the cycle generated cooling ability of around 0.6 kW using hot water of 55 degrees Celsius. Therefore, we verified that miniaturization of the machine and lowering operation temperature can be achieved.
