2. Adsorption refrigeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption_refrigeration

   The difference is that in adsorption refrigeration, the refrigerant or adsorbate vapour molecules adsorb onto the surface of a solid instead of dissolving into a liquid. In an adsorption system, an adsorber adsorbs the refrigerant vapour into a solid, while in an absorption system, an absorber absorbs the refrigerant vapour into a liquid. [1]

3. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

   Common absorption refrigerators use a refrigerant with a very low boiling point (less than −18 °C (0 °F)) just like compressor refrigerators.Compression refrigerators typically use an HCFC or HFC, while absorption refrigerators typically use ammonia or water and need at least a second fluid able to absorb the coolant, the absorbent, respectively water (for ammonia) or brine (for water).

4. Adsorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

   Adsorption is present in many natural, physical, biological and chemical systems and is widely used in industrial applications such as heterogeneous catalysts, [9] [10] activated charcoal, capturing and using waste heat to provide cold water for air conditioning and other process requirements (adsorption chillers), synthetic resins, increasing ...

5. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

   Refrigeration has many applications, including household refrigerators, industrial freezers, cryogenics, and air conditioning. [5] [6] [7] Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process, and also may be designed to be reversible, but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units. [5]

6. Chiller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller

   A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...

7. Langmuir adsorption model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_adsorption_model

   The adsorption sites (heavy dots) are equivalent and can have unit occupancy. Also, the adsorbates are immobile on the surface. The Langmuir adsorption model explains adsorption by assuming an adsorbate behaves as an ideal gas at isothermal conditions. According to the model, adsorption and desorption are reversible processes.
