Abstract
Quick and periodic inflow-outflow of adsorbate in an adsorbent column createsa differential temperature between the two ends of it, allowing for the generation of continuous sorption cooling in a single adsorbent tube. The concept has been proven experimentally and theoretically for near room temperature applications using activated carbon-nitrogen. The feasibility of generating continuous solid sorption cooling in a single adsorbent tube in the cryogenic domainhas been studied theoretically with a different adsorbent-adsorbate pair, namely, activated carbon-hydrogen. Precooling of gaseous hydrogen (before it enters the adsorbent column) and removal of the heat of adsorption has been achieved using liquid nitrogen. Theoretical estimation shows nearly 20 K temperature difference between the two ends under no load condition. Finally, parametric variations have been performed.
