L.L. Vasiliev Belarus – Indian Workshop “Advances in sorption based thermal devices, 2 – 3 November 2004 Luikov Heat & Mass Transfer Institute, Minsk, Belarus

2 INTRODUCTION and air-conditioning in regions free of grid electricity
Developing countries extremely need for heat pumping, refrigeration, and air-conditioning in regions free of grid electricity Concept of ammonia, CO2, water and hydrogen as a nature friendly working fluids for sorption technologies Short Time Cycles sorption machines with dual sources of energy (solar/gas, solar/electricity) Concept of combined action of Physical Adsorption and Chemical Reactions Heat Pipes for sorption heat pumping, solar cooking and refrigerators Sorption technologies for natural gas and hydrogen storage and transportation

3 The goal is: TO DESIGN A REFRIGERATOR, which:
would operate without grid electricity; consuming a cheap energy (solar energy concentrator and autonomous, low pressure adsorbed natural gas storage system); can be built and maintained in the country of use; would operate with ammonia, or water as refrigerant; be light and portable; be low enough in cost.

4 Sorption heat pump, refrigerator and transformer
Working fluids: ammonia, water, methanol, CO2 , hydrogen, hydrocarbons Sorbent materials: silica-gel, zeolite, active carbon, metal chlorides, metal nitrates, metal hydrates, metal carbonates, metal hydrides, ets. Cycles: heat production, cold production, heat and cold production, heat transformation, heat and cold storage, gas storage and transportation, gas compression Cascades: one, two, three ,ets.

27 CONCLUSIONS 1 A solar - gas/electrical solid sorption refrigerator with 1.8 m collection surfaces is an efficient nature friendly sorption machine. The ratio between solar energy and gas, or electrical energy supply is automatically maintained on the level of 1 kW. The COPR of the refrigerator is near 0.44. The combination - an active carbon fiber “Busofit” + CaCl2 in one reactor with the porous evaporator (sublimator) is very promising for the designing of the portable and light autonomous cooler for ground, space and hazardous applications.

28 CONCLUSIONS 2 An experimental set-up based on the COMLEX COMPOUNDS NiCl2, MnCl2, BaCl2 – ACTIVE CARBON FIBER „Busofit“ demonstrated a possibility to have a RESORPTION HEAT PUMP with simultaneous heat (superheated water vapor T = 120 0C – 130 0C) and chilled water production (T = 3 0C – 50C) with COP (without internal and external heat recovery) ~1.2. Heat recovery by the heat pipe thermal regulation and internal mass regeneration between the reactors out of phase could increase this COP up to The RESORPTION HEAT PUMP with a heat output W is an autonomous, portable device, allowing the user to apply this system in space, or on the ground (underwater, underground) and to supply, or postpone the heating and cooling capacity and to control the heat and cold output. The device has no moving parts, is noiseless and light. The pressure control regulation of the heat pump action is the most reliable and simple.
