Projeto de um sistema de refrigeração e climatização por adsorção que utiliza o par de trabalho carvão ativado e etanol

Abstract

This project seeks to carry out the design of an alternative cooling system, where all the components of a laboratory scale prototype of an adsorption cooling system using the activated carbon and ethanol working pair will be dimensioned. The proposed system uses the principle of a four-motor engine to replace the compressor used in conventional air conditioning equipment by steam compression. Therefore, its operation does not depend on electrical energy, as it uses solar energy and uses refrigerant with low environmental impact. In the search for better performance, a new reactor will be designed, by increasing the contact area and reducing the thermal inertia of the reactor. Thus, with the making of this system, it will be possible to obtain a result compatible with the state of the art of models with the same technical characteristics and operating conditions.
