Abstract

An entropic analysis of regenerative adsorptive refrigeration cycles shows that the thermal coupling of adsorbers to heat reservoirs generates entropy which is responsible for the COP to be much less than the Carnot COP. This analysis shows that with both regenerative processes studied up to now, the COP is improved as compared to the intermittent cycle because of the reduction of the external thermal entropy production but those regenerative processes generate internal thermal coupling entropy production.
