Abstract: This paper describes a parametric improvement study of a solar adsorption refrigerator, using a flat plate collector with silica-gel and water as the adsorption pair. Based on a set of experimental results obtained with a prototype, used mainly for model validation purposes, a numerical study is conducted to determine the influence of the most relevant parameters and to improve the overall performance.
