Estudio de la adsorción y desorción de pares adsorbente / adsorbato para sistemas de enfriamiento utilizando fuentes renovables de energía.

Abstract

Within the research work carried out in this project on the study of adsorption and desorption of adsorbent/adsorbate pairs for cooling systems using renewable energy sources and the feasibility of its process. It is defined from the concepts of adsorption, which is to adhere but not absorb a substance with another, this produces a release of energy, there is a transfer of energy from the molecules that are attached to the surface by increasing the temperature around it, while desorption once fulfilled the function expels the substance so that the system cycle is fulfilled again, adsorbing the heat of the environment, because inside begins to increase the temperature of the adsorbent, actually means that around decreases the temperature. This type of cooling system called ecological should be used by natural components and within these components was found the activated carbon which comes from the African palm bark obtained through a chemical process and its ideal pair is methanol because together they meet a great adsorption and desorption capacity. Due to this research, it was concluded that this type of system is convenient due to its low negative impact on the environment, while the compression cooling system should become obsolete due to harmful gas emissions. This research was obtained thanks to the literature collection of experimental and theoretical studies on these cooling systems.
