8/27 2. ADSORPTION REFRIGERATOR 2.3 Key issues for the development of adsorption systems ● The hightcostofproductionis a drawback for adsorption systems. ● To become more commercially attractive, it is necessary to make a cost and size reduction: ●Increasing the SCP throught enhancement of the internal and external heat transfer of the adsorber; ● Increasing the COP throught the improvement of the heat management.
9/27 2. ADSORPTION REFRIGERATOR 2.3 Key issues for the development of adsorption systems The main technologies to enhance the external heat transfer are related to: ●extended surfaces: to increase of the heat exchange area; ●coated adsorbers: to increase the wall heat transfer coefficient; ●heat pipe technology: to have a high heat flux density and less intermediate elements.
10/27 2. ADSORPTION REFRIGERATOR 2.3 Key issues for the development of adsorption systems The main technologies to enhance the internal heat transfer are related to: ●consolidated adsorbents: because consolidated adsorbents have lower mass transfer properties than granular adsorbents, which could lead to very low adsorption rates.

25/27 5 . CONCLUSIONS We tried to synthesize the four articles, taking the best that each had. It was observed that: • Adsorptioncoolingsystems are becomingincreasinglyconsidered for applications where cooling is required and low grade heat is available. • Adsorption refrigerating machines consist essentially of an evaporator, a condenser, valves, and an adsorber-reactor containing a porous medium as adsorbent. • Some parameters influence in the performance of the system and there are drawbacks in these systems that don’t make them so commercially attractive. • Researches about adsorption cooling are divided into some specifics ways to improve adsorption cooling systems. • Looking for real application for the cooling adsorption, some buildings and grain depot were found in Asia and Europe.
