  2. Adsorption refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption_refrigeration

    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] Adsorption refrigeration also includes a generation process where refrigerant vapour molecules desorb from the solid. In this process, there is no use of CFCs or ammonia ...

  3. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

    An absorption refrigerator is a refrigerator that uses a heat source to provide the energy needed to drive the cooling process. Solar energy, burning a fossil fuel, waste heat from factories, and district heating systems are examples of convenient heat sources that can be used. An absorption refrigerator uses two coolants: the first coolant ...

  4. Thermogravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogravimetric_analysis

    Thermogravimetric analysis or thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes. . This measurement provides information about physical phenomena, such as phase transitions, absorption, adsorption and desorption; as well as chemical phenomena including chemisorptions, thermal decomposition, and ...

  5. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    Adsorption is the adhesion [1] of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. [2] This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. This process differs from absorption, in which a fluid (the absorbate) is dissolved by or permeates a liquid or solid (the absorbent). [3]

  6. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

    Refrigeration is any of various types of cooling of a space, substance, or system to lower and/or maintain its temperature below the ambient one (while the removed heat is ejected to a place of higher temperature). [1][2] Refrigeration is an artificial, or human-made, cooling method. [1][2] Refrigeration refers to the process by which energy ...

  7. Zeolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeolite

    Zeolite is a family of several microporous, crystalline aluminosilicate materials commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. [1] They mainly consist of silicon , aluminium , oxygen , and have the general formula M n+

  8. List of chemical process simulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_process...

    This is a list of software used to simulate the material and energy balances of chemical process plants. Applications for this include design studies, engineering studies, design audits, debottlenecking studies, control system check-out, process simulation, dynamic simulation, operator training simulators, pipeline management systems, production management systems, digital twins.

  9. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

    oxygen output. D. desorption. E. exhaust. The pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process is based on the phenomenon that under high pressure, gases tend to be trapped onto solid surfaces, i.e. to be "adsorbed". The higher the pressure, the more gas is adsorbed. When the pressure is dropped, the gas is released, or desorbed.
