In this study, a new type of sorption process was developed using activated carbon (AC) as a porous host to carry LiCl. A silica solution (SS) and expanded natural graphite treated with sulfuric acid (ENG-TSA) were added to increase heat transfer and mechanical strength of ...
The potential for the use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the adsorption of ammonia in solid-gas adsorption refrigeration applications has been investigated by experimental determination of ammonia adsorption properties, as well as the thermal conductivity of a composite adsorption material. In addition to this, ...
Consolidated water sorbents with varying densities were prepared by adding expanded graphite treated with sulphuric acid to activated carbon-lithium chloride composites for use as a lab-scale prototype for thermal energy storage. The sorption reactor prototype that was designed was unable to reach the 1 kWh heat ...
Expanded graphite (EG)/paraffin composite materials were prepared with the weight % of EG varying from 0 to 10%. It was found that the addition of EG to paraffin greatly improved the thermal conductivity of the material. The melting and freezing points of the PCM were compared to ...
