Design, fabricate, and performance study of an exhaust heat-driven adsorption air-conditioning system for automobile

Adsorption colling systems powered by waste heat or solar heat can help to reduce the use of ozone depletion substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HC FCs). In recent years, this system has witnessed an increasing interest in many fields due to the fact that th...
