Source: EuroSun 2024 proceedings paper, open PDF. Partners include Sorption Technologies GmbH, CNR ITAE, TU Berlin, Hochschule München, Tecnalia, TVP Solar. Credibility: High — peer-reviewed project report; note demos are planned/underway with engineering projections, not yet measured field results.
The two adsorption demo sites
| Site | Machine | Drive heat | Duty | Projected savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polish brewery | 200 kW adsorption | ~80 °C wastewater + 50–70 kW solar | wort cooling to 5 °C | ~64 MWh/y electricity |
| German pharma | 80 kW adsorption (containerized) | 225 kW compressor waste heat | into 500 kW central cooling (1.5 GWh/y) | 110 MWh/y (29%), 50 t CO2/y |
Notes
- 3rd-gen Sorption Technologies chiller architecture — see third-generation AHP raw source.
- TVP Solar high-vacuum flat plates (80–180 °C) supply solar drive at each site.
- Watch item: measured performance data expected from these sites — the field’s most concrete new adsorption deployments.
