A guide for new visitors: what this wiki covers, where to start reading, and how the knowledge base is organized.
How to actually build an adsorption chiller. Pick the working pair first (it decides safety and vessel type): zeolite/silica + WATER is the safe demonstrator (deep vacuum, no toxic…
Practical reference for encapsulating a translucent PCM as a DIY secondary-glazing panel behind an existing window. Container choice: polycarbonate (twin-wall) is the best transluc…
A PV array has no single fixed maximum voltage or current — voltage is set by how many modules are wired in SERIES (capped by code/equipment) and current by how many strings are in…
The zeolite adsorbent reference for heat-driven cooling: the material families (classic aluminosilicate 13X/4A/NaY, natural mordenite/clinoptilolite, and the low-regeneration alumi…
Why adsorption cooling has low COP (≈77% of exergy destruction is adsorber thermal-coupling loss, compounded by small reservoir ΔT and batch operation), how hot-day condenser tempe…
The quantitative deep-dive behind adsorption cooling: COP and SCP figures by working pair and driving temperature, the 80/30/14 °C silica-gel benchmark (COP ~0.45, SCP ~176 W·kg⁻¹)…
Composite 'salt-in-porous-matrix' (CSPM / Selective Water Sorbent) materials impregnate a hygroscopic salt (CaCl2, LiCl, LiBr) into a host (silica gel, vermiculite, graphite). A tr…
A master feature-by-feature comparison of all cooling-generating technologies — drive source, working fluid/pair, COP, SCP, drive temperature, maturity, and best-fit application — …
