Abstract

In this paper, the performance comparison between two different cycles has been numerically studied. In cycle1, the configuration of beds in the three bed chiller with mass recovery were taken as uniform in size but in cycle2 the configuration of Hex3 is taken as half of Hex1 or Hex2 (where Hex1 and Hex2 are identical). In the present numerical solution, the heat source temperature variation is taken from 70°C to 90°C (for both cycle) and along with coolant inlet temperature at 30°C and the chilled water inlet temperature at 14°C. Silica gel-water is chosen as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. In the new strategy, if any one bed (3rd bed) is connect with the evaporator during pre-heating or pre-cooling time then it will give better performance than that of existing system. In this strategy, mass recovery process also occurs in all bed. Results show that the cooling capacity (CC) and coefficient of performance (COP) of the cycle1 is much better than that of the cycle2 in the range of heat source temperature from 700C to 900C.
