Abstract

This study focuses on the adsorption heat pump cooling performance enhancement. The corrugated heat exchanger (HEX) has been employed in recent years owing to its excellent heat transfer; however, its filling method require improvement. Therefore, a filling method called dip-coating method is introduced to improve its heat transfer and packing density. The dip-coating method is adapted to accommodate the Wakkanai siliceous shale composite adsorbent, and two types of adsorbent filled-HEX (ad-HEX), i.e., the dip-HEX and dip-filled-HEX, are compared with the conventional ad-HEX of the filled-HEX. The dip-HEX comprises a few mass transfer channels and has a packing density similar to that of the filled-HEX. Meanwhile, the dip-filled-HEX exhibits a 30% higher packing density compared with the filled-HEX. A basic performance experiment is performed, and the results indicate that the dip-HEX outperforms the filled-HEX owing to its higher coefficient of performance (COP) and specific cooling power (SCP). The dip-filled-HEX exhibits a slightly lower SCP than the filled-HEX; however, it exhibits the highest COP among three types of ad-HEXs. Subsequently, mass recovery is applied to enhance the cooling performance. In a typical mass recovery period of 10 s, the COP and SCP of the dip-HEX increases to 0.46 and 0.74 W/g, respectively.
