Adsorption refrigeration-green cooling driven by low grade thermal energy

As a type of environmental benign refrigeration technology powered by low grade thermal energy, adsorption refrigeration have aroused more and more attention in recent years. In this paper, the research frontiers of adsorption refrigeration, including adsorbent, adsorption theory, heat recovery process, technology of adsorber, the research achievements, and the development achievements, are summarized. Typical systems for adsorption refrigeration research facing to applications in the recent years are presented. Future applications of adsorption refrigeration are analysed.
