Steady-state investigation of water vapor adsorption for thermally driven adsorption based greenhouse air-conditioning system

Steady-state moisture cycled (MCSS) by each adsorbent is determined for demand category-I, II and III which are based on 60%, 40% and 20% relative humidity of dehumidified air, respectively. In case of demand category-I, the ACP enables maximum MCSS at all regeneration temperatures (Treg), ideally sitting at 47 °C. The ACF enables double MCSS as compared to silica-gel during demand category-II at Treg ≥59 °C. However, the silica-gel is found the only applicable adsorbent for the demand category-III.
