Abstract

The aim of the present paper is the experimental characterization of adsorbent materials suitable for practical applications in adsorption refrigeration systems, employing ethanol as refrigerant. Different commercial activated carbons as well as a properly synthesized porous composite, composed of LiBr inside a silica gel host matrix, have been tested. A complete thermo-physical characterization, comprising nitrogen physi-sorption, specific heat and thermo-gravimetric equilibrium curves of ethanol adsorption over the sorbents, has been carried out. The equilibrium data have been fitted by means of the Dubinin – Astakhov equation.
