Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop a complete, precise and simple numerical model based on the thermophysical properties of an adsorptive cooling system (using activated carbon–methanol pair), analyze and discuss the heat and mass transfer processes and identify the parameters which influence the system performance. In the design of adsorption refrigeration system, the characteristics of both adsorbate–adsorbent pairs and system operating conditions are very important. So in this model, different thermophysical properties of working pair such as, specific heat, density, isosteric heat of adsorption and desorption, and different temperatures of the system are considered. A simulation code, written in FORTRAN, is carried out. The performance of the system is assessed in terms of refrigeration effect and coefficient of performance (COP).
