Abstract: Purely thermal heat pumps can be devised with adsorbate/solid adsorbent pairs, for example for refrigeration purposes. As each cycle consists of two periods, i.e., heating/desorption/condensation ...

Abstract: Experimental results obtained on a 12 m3 solar-powered solid-adsorption cold store are presented. These results are compared to the predictions of a simplified model. On the basis of this model, ...
