Testing of Heat Operated Adsorption Refrigeration System for Space Cooling

Now a day due to development of economy and research in science the standard of living increases worldwide and hence energy consumption in the houses, building, corporate offices is increase worldwide. In case of air conditioning the HVAC system is developed and electrically driven vapor compression air conditioning unit specially in hot weather. Electrically driven VCR consumes very high grade energy and it is also hazardous to our environment. On other hand thermally driven adsorption refrigeration and systems got considerable attention now a day not due to its manufacturing simplicity, but also having environment friendly adsorbent /refrigerant pairs. This paper work is aim for testing a prototype of vapour adsorption refrigeration system using aqua ammonia and 1KW capacity has been tested in the laboratory of vapour adsorption. In present work the heating time required to achieve the cooling effect is around 10 minutes.
