Abstract

A resorption system with simultaneous cold and heat production was studied. The heat produced could be used for sanitary or process purposes, or to drive another heat-powered machine. The resorption reactors had MnCl 2 and NH 4Cl as reactant (which are impregnated in expanded graphite) and NH 3 as refrigerant. The combined coefficient of performance and amplification (COPA) of this system reached 1.3 when the cooling effect was produced at 0 °C and heating effect at 75 °C with the regeneration temperature of 140 °C. Its COP was 0.35 with a specific cooling power (SCP) of 1.12 MJ kg −1 day −1, and the heat sink in this case remained below the cooling temperature for more than 5 h. Because of the heat production at certain temperature level (from 70 °C to 80 °C) in this study, the released heat could be used to power a silica gel-water adsorption chiller and the overall COP of the combined system would increase dramatically.
