Why adsorption cooling has low COP (a basic cycle's exergy efficiency is ~10 %, with ~77 % of exergy destruction in adsorber thermal coupling, compounded by small reservoir tempera…
The quantitative deep-dive behind adsorption cooling: COP and SCP by working pair and driving temperature — the silica-gel/water benchmark band (COP ~0.45–0.6, SCP ~160–250 W·kg⁻¹ …
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…
Composite 'salt-in-porous-matrix' (CSPM / Selective Water Sorbent) materials impregnate a hygroscopic salt (CaCl2, LiCl, LiBr) into a host (silica gel, vermiculite, expanded graphi…
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 — …
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 guide for new visitors: what this wiki covers, where to start reading, and how the knowledge base is organized.
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…
