A new refrigeration system that uses a specially designed finned plate heat exchanger and works with zeolite and methanol is proposed. The integration of heat transfer and adsorption via a finned surface coated with zeolite CBV 901 and the use of a connected, twin active bed system to enable heat recuperation are novel features. The thermophysical properties of zeolite and methanol were first studied with the intention of designing a high performance heat exchanger (generator) for the adsorption refrigeration system. Here, the major problem is related to poor conductivity at the interface between the heat exchanger and the zeolite. The adsorbent must be heated (desorption phase) and then cooled (adsorption phase) back to ambient temperature in order to complete a thermodynamic cycle. To manufacture a sufficiently small system, there must be high rates of heat transfer in and out of the adsorbent. Therefore, the surface of the heat exchanger is finned in order to increase the heat transfer area (the fins are coated with 2 mm layer of specially prepared zeolite paste). The following characteristics were estimated from initial calculation: heating temperature, 120°C; outside tube temperature, 119.6°C; middle fin temperature, 117°C; and coated layer of zeolite paste temperature, 115.3°C. The mathematical code developed to calculate the effects of operating conditions and the Coefficient of Performance (COP) was presented at HPC 2001 in Paris. It is based on the Dubinin-Astakhov equation and thermodynamic analyses. The results obtained shows that 0.535 is the COP for a single bed and 0.925 for a double bed. |
