Verdicts to carry into articles
- Zeolite 13X–water is the most practical pair for long-life field systems — heat tolerance and lifespan beat carbon–methanol’s charge simplicity.
- Cycle COP band: 0.2–0.6; cost and zeolite cycling degradation are the adoption barriers.
- ≥50% electricity reduction in arid-zone case studies.
- Maintenance practice is a first-order determinant of long-term output — directly relevant to diy-adsorption-chiller and any off-grid build.
