Abstract
Improving water vapor adsorption performance at low humidity and enhancing thermal conductivity are beneficial for the performances of adsorption refrigeration materials. In this study, MIL-101(Cr) was integrated with graphene oxide (GO) and calcium chloride (CaCl₂) to develop high-performance composite adsorbents. The materials were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and thermal conductivity measurements. Adsorption and desorption tests revealed that the MIL-101(Cr)/2 % GO + 20 % CaCl₂ composite exhibited the best performance, achieving a dynamic adsorption capacity of 0.368 g/g and a 36 % increase in thermal conductivity compared to pure MIL-101(Cr). Meanwhile, the heat and mass transfer performance of the materials and the COP and SCP of the system were analyzed by modeling the adsorbent and the system under the corresponding operating conditions, and MIL-101(Cr)/2 % GO + 20 % CaCl₂ showed the best performance among all the samples of the present study in all these models. Furthermore, the composite demonstrated excellent stability after 50 adsorption-desorption cycles, retaining a desorption efficiency above 93 %. The synergistic effects of GO and CaCl₂ significantly improved both water vapor adsorption and thermal conductivity, making this composite a promising candidate for energy-efficient adsorption refrigeration systems.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
