Accounting for the real properties of the heat transfer fluid in heat-regenerative adsorption cycles for refrigeration

摘要: Abstract Adsorption cycles for refrigeration or heat pumping can be environmentally friendly. Moreover, when they use the process of heat-regeneration, energetically efficient provided adsorbers are correctly designed, which requires correct modelling. In such a model, all exchanges undergone by transfer fluid considered. The temperature changes this induce variations in its physical properties. influence these on cycle performance numerically investigated and thermodynamically analysed. effects density negligible, but those capacity cannot neglected. analysis shows that result is due to interdependence quantities involved via first principle thermodynamics.
