Researchers have sought for standards, methodologies and procedures to properly
measure the thermal properties of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) materials. Among them …

This paper presents the achievements gained in solid sorption refrigeration prototypes since
the end of the l970s, when interest in sorption systems was renewed. The applications …

Sorption is used for absorption/adsorption heat pumps (sorption refrigeration) and sorption
for thermal energy storage (TES). This paper is the first review where the research on both …

Adsorber bed design strongly affects the performance of waste-heat driven adsorption
cooling systems (ACS) for vehicle air conditioning and refrigeration (A/C–R) applications …

Heat-powered solid–gas sorption refrigeration technology has been regarded as one of the
effective methods for reutilization of low-grade thermal energy such as industrial waste heat …

The history of adsorption cycles and the basic cycle are briefly described. The major
refrigerants used are water, methanol, and ammonia.'Physical'adsorbents include zeolites …

In this paper the experimental results of a lab-scale chilling module working with the
composite sorbent SWS-1L (mesoporous silica gel impregnated with CaCl2) are presented …

A three dimensional numerical scheme has been developed to examine geometrical
configuration effects on the performance of a single bed adsorption chiller with a trapezoidal …

The inorganic composite sorbent provides one of the feasible solutions for water vapor
sorption due to large water uptake, high sorption/desorption rate, excellent thermal stability …

A compact silica gel–water adsorption chiller without vacuum valves was manufactured and
experimentally studied. This chiller contains two adsorption/desorption chambers and one …
