COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL ADSORBENTS WITH COMPOSITE ADSORBENT PAIRS FOR APPLICATION IN ADSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Selection of a proper adsorbent-refrigerant working pairs plays a crucial role in the effective performance of an adsorption refrigeration system. In practice composite adsorbents intensify the adsorption and desorption rates when compared to physical and chemical adsorption working pairs. Hence in this work, an evaluative overview of composite adsorbent-refrigeration working pairs is epitomized in comparison with the physical and chemical working pairs. In addition to this, authors also summarized performance characteristics of different composite working pairs. Authors hope that this work will provide a paradigm in selecting best suitable adsorbent-refrigerant working pair for the practical application.
