Abstract
This paper presents adsorption isotherms of R-134a (HFC-134a) on highly porous pitch based activated carbon (Maxsorb III) in the temperature range of 5–70 °C and pressures up to 12 bar, using desorption method. The experimental data have been fitted with the Dubinin–Astakhov (D–A) isotherm equation. The adsorption isotherms of R-134a on Maxsorb III obtained from the present study are compared with the adsorption isotherm results of R-134a on similar type of adsorbents obtained by other researchers and they are found to be fairly consistent. The isosteric heat of adsorption of the assorted adsorbent–refrigerant pair has also been extracted from the present experimental data.
