Limiting efficiency of the
adsorption heat pump
Abstract
The theoretical model basing
on the conception of an unrecoverable dissipative structure is suggested to
estimate the adsorption thermal pump limiting efficiency (LE). The LE is attainable at assumptions of both
the nonequilibrium vapor transfer and negligible heat exchange resistance. The
LE value is less than the thermodynamically equilibrium efficiency and is the
more precise reference-point in selection of the optimal designs of the process
arrangement. Within the considered examples the LE substantially exceeds the
efficiency realized in experiments, thus confirming that there is the
significant potential for improvement of the practical devices.
