Performance investigation of adsorption cooling and desalination systems employing thermally enhanced copper foamed bed coated with SAPO-34 and CPO-27(Ni)

Despite the increasing interest in adsorption cooling and desalination systems, poor heat hence mass transfer adsorbent-bed (the core component) impedes efficient energy conversion at system level increases its physical footprint. In response, this paper numerically investigates overall enhancement of cum employing emerging copper foamed adsorbent beds advanced thermal performance coated with materials to address such an untapped challenge. Silico-aluminophosphate (SAPO-34) Nickel-based metal-organic framework CPO-27(Ni) adsorbents were employed. First, a 2-D axisymmetric computational fluid dynamic fully coupled model was developed simulate adsorbent-beds considering non-ideal condenser evaporator pressures. Second, influence different operating conditions foam thicknesses investigated levels. The kinetics SAPO-34 enabled shortening cycle time from 600 180 s, which enhanced coefficient (COP), specific power (SCP), daily water production (SDWP) by 163%, 223%, 228%. regeneration temperature most influential parameter on systems’ within range (70–100 °C).
