Modeling of a two-bed silica gel-water adsorption chiller
This article presents a lumped-parameter model which was recently developed by our group to investigate the performance of multi-bed adsorption chillers. We demonstrate that this model has the same efficacy as distributed model by comparing the predictions from both lumped-parameter and distributed models at various operating conditions. The model is then used to analyze the effect of heat recovery schemes and the effect of other parameters on system performance. Through the experimental validation, it is found that the differences between predictions and experimental data in both cooling capacity and Coefficient of Performance are typically less than 10% in our studied working conditions. This provides useful information for adsorption chiller manufacturers.
