Developing a silicagel-water adsorption chiller for micro-trigeneration

Recently small-scale thermally driven chillers have gained a lot of interest because their potential to save primary energy, to reduce electricity peaks on the grids and to improve cost benefit ratio of micro-CHP units when combined into tri-generation systems. ECN has developed a small-scale (output < 5 kW) silicagel-water adsoprtion chiller...
