냉방효과와 음용수의 생산을 위한 흡착식 담수화 시스템에 관한 실험적 연구

초록

The availability of both potable water and air conditioning is becoming increasingly important to sustain an improved quality of life. In this regard, adsorption desalination (AD) cycle is an environmentally-friendly and yet low-cost desalination system that (i) utilizes a single low-temperature heat source, which is available in abundance from renewable energy sources or exhaust of industrial processes, and (ii) produces two useful effects, such as high-grade fresh water and cooling capacity for air conditioning. This paper presents the performances of the AD pilot plant employing silica gel and water vapor as an adsorbent–adsorbate pair, housed in the laboratory of Hanyang University. The performances of the AD cycle are extensively evaluated in terms of specific daily water production (SDWP) and specific cooling capacity (SCC) for assorted operation conditions.
