1st Edition
by Ruzhu Wang (Author), Liwei Wang (Author), Jingyi Wu (Author)
Gives readers a detailed understanding of adsorption refrigeration technology, with a focus on practical applications and environmental concerns
Systematically
covering the technology of adsorption refrigeration, this book provides
readers with a technical understanding of the topic as well as detailed
information on the state-of-the-art from leading researchers in the
field. Introducing readers to background on the development of
adsorption refrigeration, the authors also cover the development of
adsorbents, various thermodynamic theories, the design of adsorption
systems and adsorption refrigeration cycles. The book guides readers
through the research process, covering key aspects such as: the
principle of adsorption refrigeration; choosing adsorbents according to
different characteristics; thermodynamic equations; methods for the
design of heat exchangers for adsorbers; and the advanced adsorption
cycles needed. It is also valuable as a reference for professionals
working in these areas.
- Covers state-of-the art of
adsorption research and technologies for relevant applications, working
from adsorption working pairs through to the application of adsorption
refrigeration technology for low grade heat recovery
- Assesses
sustainable alternatives to traditional refrigeration methods, such as
the application of adsorption refrigeration systems for solar energy and
waste heat
- Includes a key chapter on the design of adsorption
refrigeration systems as a tutorial for readers new to the topic; the
calculation models for different components and working processes are
also included
- Takes real-world examples giving an insight into
existing products and installations and enabling readers to apply the
knowledge to their own work
