Abstract

This article presents a numerical study of the dynamic performance of an adsorption cooling system for automobile waste heat recovery. A new lumped parameter non-equilibrium model is developed and used to investigate and optimize the waste heat cooling system, which is estimated to be operated in quicker cycles when compared with the time needed to reach equilibrium. The effects of the operating temperatures and the overall heat transfer coefficient on the system performance are extensively investigated. It is found that the SCP is more sensitive to parameter changes than the COP. And improving the UA is the most effective way to obtain an increased SCP, but only in the ranges below the threshold value, which is determined by the overall mass transfer coefficient.
