Operating Cycle
The Adsorption Chiller has an evaporator section to cool the chilled water, a condenser section and two adsorbent (silica gel) chamber/heat exchangers. The two heat exchangers alternate between cooling and heating during the chilling and regeneration process cycle (one cycle approximately 7 minutes). When one of the chamber/heat exchangers switches to the regeneration process it heats from the low (chilling) temperature to the regeneration temperature. The water vapor released from the silica gel will be condensed in the condenser section with cooling water.
