Demonstrating of the Performance of a Solabcool® Units Applied in the Field

This paper presents the performance of two adsorption chillers applied in two different projects. These adsorption chillers are driven by solar heat or waste heat, i.e. district heat. An all in one adsorption unit, with an integrated dry cooler and a patented multiple-way valve was placed at a dwelling. The other adsorption unit, which is scalable, was placed at an incinerator plant. The performance measured at the two projects was then compared with a reference test of the adsorption unit that were performed in our test facility. It was found that the performance of the adsorption units in the field was equivalent to the performance obtained in the reference test under static conditions.
