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…
Tests whether structured (hierarchical, fractal, lattice) adsorbent-bed geometry raises specific cooling power through heat and mass transfer rather than through added surface area…
Adsorption cooling produces cold from low-grade heat (typically 60–95 °C, feasible from ~50 °C) using a solid porous adsorbent that alternately adsorbs and desorbs a refrigerant va…
Geothermal brine has driven absorption chillers in the field since 1980, but the record is thin and mixed: Oregon Tech's 1,095 kW LiBr unit on 89 °C water delivered half its namepl…

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.
