Abstract:Nowadays, the rapidly increasing energy needs and accordingly limited to the high production costs of energy production and energy resources, it brought about the effective and efficient use of the available energy requirement. For this reason, sustainable and renewable energy sources, particularly for use in heating and cooling it is of utmost importance. Adsorption heat pumps, which have considerably sparked attentions in recent years, have the advantage of being environmentally friendly and operating with heat sources such as waste heat, solar and geothermal energies as well as storing the energy. These types of systems may store the energy and then creates the possibility is also advantageous due to use in a batch application. Improving the performance of heat pumps and usage continues to increase its efforts to expand. Adsorption heat pumps for the design and manufacture of the system to be used in the adsorbent-adsorbate requires to be known in detail the characteristics of the adsorption pair. In this study, the adsorption heat pump working principles, a detailed literature rewiew, general information on adsorption, designed experimental setup and experimental results of the system are described. In the present study, firstly R134a,then R404A absorbates which are commonly used in mechanical systems were used, as these flora carbon type cooling fluids can operate in lower temperatures and cause less imperviousness problems in the system. As adsorbent activated carbon, silica gel, zeolite and polymer produced under the project were used. Then, the experimental work was performed on this system. As a result of these experiments, it was observed that the activated carbon showed the best adsorption performance. However it was concluded that the silica gel has the potential adsorption in the near activated carbon.
