Abstract
An adsorption chiller is expected to have high energy-efficiency in utilizing the waste heat exhausted from a process. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of silica gel-water adsorption chiller from the cycle simulation and to provide a guideline for design of the adsorption chiller. The effect of cycle time, inlet temperature and water flow rate on the cooling capacity and COP is quantified during the cycle operation. It is found that the performance of adsorption chiller is more sensitive to the change of inlet water temperature rather than the water flow rate. It is concluded that the COP is 0.57 in the standard conditions(hot water $80^{\circ}C$, cooling water $30^{\circ}C$, chilled water inlet temperatures $14^{\circ}C$ and cycle time 420sec).
