Abstract
It is found that the initial part of all kinetic curves is exponential and can be described by a single characteristic time Ï. This time depends on the grain size R as Ï â¼Â Rα, where the index α is constant over the whole range of the grain sizes, and its value is 1.33 and 1.20 for adsorption and desorption runs, respectively. The α-constancy may indicate an inseparable coupling of heat and mass transfer in the monolayer configuration of AQSOAâ¢-FAM-Z02 adsorbent bed. For grains of about 2 mm size, quite acceptable initial power (>2 kW/kg) is obtained. Thus, the monolayer configurations may result in fast adsorption dynamics, reasonable specific power and compact AC units.
