Özet:
Adsorption heat pumps, which have considerably sparked attentions in recent years, have the advantage of being environmentally friendly and operating with heat sources such as waste heat, solar and geothermal energies as well as storing the energy.The present investigation covers working principle of adsorption heat pumps, a detailed literature survey on the performed studies, information about adsorption phenomena, experimental results of two differently designed and constructed systems, numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed, and microcalorimetric study for obtaining isosteric heat of adsorption for water vapor-silica gel pair. The two intermittent adsorption heat pumps can operate without any leakage. The silica gelwater was employed as the adsorbent-adsorbate pair in both of the systems. The temperature and pressure in the evaporator, condenser and adsorbent bed were measured and the coefficients of performance, total entropy generation, the second law efficiency, specific heating and cooling power values were calculated based on these measured values for all of the representative cycles. The heat transfer area of the second designed adsorption heat pump is 550% greater than the first designed adsorption heat pump and this increase resulted in 170% and 200% of improvements in specific heating power (SHP) and specific cooling power (SCP) values respectively. The silica gel granules were mixed with small size metal pieces in order to accelerate heat transfer in the bed. Experiments were performed to measure the thermal diffusivity through the adsorbent bed in which adsorbent is mixed with metal pieces. It was observed that the mixing of silica gel grains with 10wt% of small size aluminum pieces increases the SHP and SCP values of the second heat pump by 250%.
