Abstract: Dynamics of water adsorption in an adsorption chiller (AC) determines the specific cooling power and the AC size. The dynamics, in its turn, strongly depends on the configuration of an “adsorbent – heat exchanger” (Ad-HEx). Here we considered the simplest, monolayer, configuration of the Ad-HEx and studied the water ad-/desorption dynamics as a function of the grain size (0.2–2.1 mm), temperature drop (16–36 °C), and pressure (7–47 mbar) for a commercial adsorbent AQSOA™-FAM-Z02. The dynamics was measured by a Volumetric Large Temperature Jump method under typical conditions of isobaric stages of real AC cycle.
