Abstract:This project investigates the vapor compression air-conditioning (A/C) system that utilizes an adsorption compressor that replaces the conventional mechanical compressor. The potential application of an advanced design to the needs of the Transportation sector performance. the focus for this work. Much of phase I effort was to refurbish the system to safe operating condition, and to evaluate its performance. The system coefficient of performance for both mechanical and adsorption type compressor operations were 1.99 and 0.68 respectively. Phase II experimental work will include a detailed characterization of the adsorption beds, optimization of the operating temperatures, and cycling algorithm. The results of this work will provide the basis for design of improved sorption refrigeration systems for automotive and space conditioning applications.
