Thermodynamic study of a combined double-way solid–gas thermochemical sorption refrigeration cycle
(2009)
A combined double-way thermochemical sorption refrigeration thermodynamic cycle was proposed and tested. Both adsorption refrigeration and resorption refrigeration processes were combined in order to improve the system ...
A combined doubleway chemisorption refrigeration cycle based on adsorption and resorption processes
(2009)
An innovative combined double-way chemisorption refrigeration cycle based on adsorption and resorption processes is presented. Two different reactive salts were used as sorbents and ammonia was utilized as the refrigerant ...
Performance improvement of an adsorption chiller using composite adsorbent, silica gel impregnated with lithium chloride, paired with methanol as the adsorbate
(World Scientific Publishing, 2014)
This study aimed at analyzing different operation strategies to improve the performance of a new type adsorption chiller employing a novel composite adsorbent, silica gel impregnated with lithium chloride, paired with ...
A Comprehensive Review on Status of Solar PV Growth in Uganda
(Journal of Energy Research and Reviews, 2019)
Uganda is faced with a challenge of huge energy deficit just like many other developing countries in
Africa. Currently, only 26.7% of the total population has access to electricity. Energy being the life –
blood of any ...
Advances in wind energy resource exploitation in urban environment: A review
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Wind energy continues to stand out as a more established and mature technology to offset a large proportion of power. Efforts aimed at improving wind energy use to meet the energy demand in turbulent urban wind environment ...
Briquette making in Kenya: Nairobi and peri-urban areas
(Elsevier, 2014)
Briquettes made from biomass residues could contribute to ensuring the sustainable supply of biomass energy. The paper reviews the present briquette making process in Kenya especially in Nairobi and peri-urban areas. The ...
Developments in solar drying using forced ventilation and solar regenerated desiccant materials
(Elsevier, 1996)
In many countries, grains are naturally sun dried in the field, resulting in large-scale spoilage. Purpose-built solar grain dryers are being introduced with some success, but to be effective, their performance must be ...
Renewable energy in Kenya: Resource potential and status of exploitation
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper presents an assessment of renewable energy resource potential and the current status of exploitation in Kenya. As an importer of petroleum fuels, Kenya spends a substantial amount of foreign reserves to import ...
Novel Composite Sorbent for Resorption Systems and for Chemisorption Air Conditioners Driven by Low Generation Emperature
(Elsevier, 2009-12-31)
The utilization of a composite sorbent (NaBr and expanded graphite) in chemisorption air conditioning systems driven by low-grade heat source, and in resorption systems with simultaneous heating and cooling effects was ...
Performance study of a consolidated manganese chloride-expanded graphite compound for sorption deep freezing processes
(2009)
A consolidated composite sorbent made from manganese chloride and expanded graphite was produced for sorption deep-freezing processes and used for cold production at a temperature as low as −35 °C. Experimental results ...
