Adsorption isosteres of the silica gel (SG) -water adsorption refrigeration working pairs were obtained.Several adsorption equations have been fitted to the experimental points in order to get the adsorption equation
which could be used for the simulation of the silica gel-water adsorpion chiller.Besides
two composite adsorbents were also developed to enhance the heat transfer.One is obtained by mixing expanded graphite and silica gel.The other is developed by adding a binder into silica gel.The results show that when the mass ratio of the binder in the composite adsorbent is 1.1%
the amount of the water desorbed is increased by 13.8% for first 5min; and it is increased by 2.5% for 15min.To conclude
the composite adsorbent can shorten the cycle time.The composite adsorbent with expanded graphite has the same performance as the composite adsorbent mixed with binder.And both of them have advantages and disadvantages.
