INTRODUCTION
Adsorption (also called solid sorption) refrigeration systems use solid sorption material such as silica gel and zeolite to produce cooling effect. These systems are attracting increasing attention because they can be activated by low-grade thermal energy and use refrigerants having zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential
Absorption systems cannot operate normally under conditions where serious vibration occurs, such as in fishing boats and locomotives, because the absorbent in these systems, which is in a liquid state, may flow from the generator to the condenser or from the absorber to the evaporator Need a liquid pump or rectifier for the refrigerant
Adsorption systems are suitable for such applications, because their adsorbents stay in a solid state
TYPES OF ADSORPTION
1.Physical adsorption (Physisorption): If a force of attraction existing between adsorbate and porous material surface this is the Vander Waals forces, the adsorption is physical adsorption. In physical adsorption the attraction between the vapour or gas and porous material surface are weak, hence this type of adsorption can be easily reversed by heating
2.Chemical adsorption (Chemisorption): If the force of attraction existing between vapour or gas and porous material surface are the same strength as chemical bonds, this type of adsorption is named chemical adsorption. In chemisorption the force of attraction is strong therefore chemical adsorption cannot be easily reversed
