Research Abstract

The severity of the ozone layer destruction problem has been calling for rapid developments in environment friendly adsorption cooling systems. However, the widespread dissemination of adsorption system is hindered due to its poor performance, which mainly results from the inadequate design of adsorber/desorber heat exchanger. The present study deals with optimization of adsorber/desorber heat exchanger in order to improve the system performance.
