Comprehensive Analysis for State-of-the-Art Adsorption Refrigeration Technologies

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, society needs more and more energy currently, and the energy utilization efficiency has become a topic that cannot be neglected. In many cases, it is still a common phenomenon in society that a large amount of energy is wasted, which may cause more fossil energy to be burned and the greenhouse effect to be strengthened. In addition to directly improving the utilization rate of energy, we can also reduce energy waste through the recovery and reuse of waste energy. Thermal energy sorption refrigeration technology, divided into adsorption refrigeration technology using solid adsorbent and absorption refrigeration technology using liquid absorbent, could utilize waste energy or low-grade heat sources for refrigeration. Through the introduction of adsorption refrigeration technology, the research and analysis of the application of solid adsorption refrigeration technology in industry, vehicles, ships and buildings, this paper introduces the basic principle and current situation of this technology, summarizes the advantages, disadvantages and development direction of adsorption refrigeration technology, and provides reference for those who do not comprehend this technology or have doubts about the scope of its use.
