Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the adsorption characteristics of granular activated carbon GAC/R-134a pair in the temperature range of 20–60°C and pressure up to 10 bars. The Dubinin–Astakhov adsorption equilibrium model is fit to experimental data with acceptable error limit. The pressure–temperature–concentration (P–T–X) diagram of the pair is also presented. The isosteric heat of adsorption of R-134a on AC has been calculated using the Clausius–Clapeyron equation as a function of adsorption capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 1.92 kgR134a/kgcarbon at 20°C after 1200 s. The experimental results also shows that the increase of heat transfer area improves the adsorption capacity per kg of adsorber, which lead to the design of a finned tubes heat exchanger adsorption unit.
