Abstract: The adsorptive properties of several activated charcoal/methanol combinations were measured in the laboratory. The Dubinin-Astakhov equation is used to analyze the data, and pressure-temperature-concentration diagrams are given. From these results the coefficients of performance of ideal adsorption refrigeration cycles applicable in solar heated adsorption refrigerators are calculated. It was found that extruded samples from the U.K. and China had similar properties, but the best results were given by granular samples from Thailand. There is some evidence that small grain sizes (1 mm) are better than large grain sizes (5 mm).
