Abstract

Starting from the project background to its problem statement and objective, the writer
explored and explained the basic theoretical information behind the topic aborted in this
project (solar adsorption cooling system using activated media for equatorial humid
climate), as well as the methodology to be used in order to accomplish the desired
output. This project is about designing a solar powered adsorption cooling system that
fits the needs and cooling requirements of a typical house under the equatorial humid
climate. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was chosen and all the relevant data concerning the
design of the refrigeration system shall take into account its climate properties. A few
adsorbent candidates were compared using relevant criteria that suits for this current
application, and final choice was the activated carbon for presenting better results among
the other adsorbents. The same was done to select adsorbates and the final choice was
the refrigerant R600 (N-butane). Adsorption analysis on this pair was done following the
ideal cycle and based on the calculatious and results obtained, could be noticed that the
SCE of the system can go up to 27 KJ/Kg while the COP up to 0.169 (Optimum value).
Under these results could be concluded that this system is capable to keep up with the
house cooling load demand which presents a value of 6.03 KW.
