Long description:

The efficient utilisation of energy at low heat source temperature is a key issue for both industry and academia. In recent years, the heat-activated adsorption cycles are proven to be practical and energy efficient method for converting low-temperature waste heat into useful effects such as cooling, freezing, heating, storage and desalination and this is reflected by the dearth of literature publications. The adsorption technology would steer towards the key development of heat activated machines for the energy industry and they could offer cost-effective solutions for achieving energy efficiency and environment sustainability. This edited book covers the state-of-the art of adsorption research and technologies for relevant applications with the objectives of energy efficiency and sustainability. It consists of fifteen chapters from renowned experts in adsorption fields around the world covering the aspects of adsorption fundamentals, adsorbent materials characterisations, adsorption cooling, storage, and heat pump systems. This book examines new research directions in this frontier field.

Introduction; Heating & Cooling in a Renewable Energy Context; Theoretical Insight of Physical Adsorption for a Single Component Adsorbate System; Phase transition in adsorption layers at the air/water interface; Dynamic Aspects of Adsorptive Heat Transformation; Adsorption Equilibrium Measurement Methods; Adsorptive Refrigeration Processes: History & Perspectives; Carbon Nanotube Membranes; Multi-bed adsorption heat pump cycles & their optimal operation; Activated Carbon Based Adsorption Thermal Compression Systems for Cryocooling, Refrigeration & Gas Storage; Compact Adsorption Generator for Solar & Waste-heat Applications: Ice making & Air Conditioning in tropical or hot climate regions; Desiccant Materials & Desiccant Cooling System: A Review; Adsorbents & systems for a low-temperature driven desiccant air-conditioning; Research on the Adsorption Ice Makers for Fishing Boats; Methane Storage in Microporous Carbons -- Effect of Porosity & Surface Chemical Composition Tested on Realistic Carbon Model; Heat Pipes to Increase the Adsorption Technology Efficiency; Index.
