Abstract: | This paper presents isosteric-based adsorption equilibrium tests of three activated carbon samples with methanol as an adsorbate.
Experimental data was fitted into Langmuir equation, Freundlich equation and Dubinin-Astakov (D–A) equation, respectively.
The fitted adsorption equations were compared in terms of agreement with experimental data. Moreover, equation format’s impacts
on calculation of the coefficient of performance (COP) and refrigeration capacity of an adsorption refrigeration system was
analyzed. In addition, the sensitivity of each parameter in each adsorption equation format to the estimation of cycle’s COP
and refrigeration capacity was investigated. It was found that the D–A equation is the best form for presenting the adsorptive
property of a carbon-methanol working pair. The D–A equation is recommended for estimating thermal performance of an adsorption
refrigeration system because simulation results obtained using the D–A equation are less sensitive to errors of experimentally
determined D–A equation’s parameters. |
