Abstract: In this paper, an innovative adsorptive chiller based on 3 hybrid adsorbers is presented as well as results of the first testing campaign performed under real HVAC operating conditions. The prototype presents two main innovative features aimed to achieve high values of cooling power density: (i) a new architecture, with 3 adsorbers connected to a single evaporator and condenser, that allows to perform an advanced machine’s management strategy employing unbalanced durations of the isobaric ads-/desorption steps, (ii) hybrid adsorbers realized embedding microporous Silica Gel loose grains into aluminium finned flat tube heat exchangers previously coated with the Mitsubishi AQSOA FAM Z02 sorbent. Water was selected as refrigerant while up to now the machine operates without any mass/heat recovery.
