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)…

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…

Adsorption cooling produces cold from low-grade heat (60–95 °C) using a solid porous adsorbent that alternately adsorbs and desorbs a refrigerant vapor instead of using an electric…

Active build experiment: the SAFE water-refrigerant adsorption cooling demonstrator (two valved vessels under vacuum, no toxic/flammable refrigerant). Purpose is to learn leak-tigh…

Next: Build the safe two-vessel zeolite/silica–water demonstrator per the protocol, populate the cooling-stroke + cycle logs, then promote results into references/diy-adsorption-chiller as a 'Measured build' section.
