Abstract
Solar adsorption refrigeration systems are indispensable in the areas of cooling such as air conditioning, ice making, food preservation, medicine and vaccine storage etc in remote areas. It is cheaper than other devices and lack in noise and corrosion. It is completely an eco-friendly system which could be driven by low grade waste heat. Consumption of electricity is very less in this system as compared to other fields due to the elimination of compression process in adsorption refrigeration. Most of the adsorption system delivers a COP between 0.1 and 0.2 and exceptions are also there. Because of the technical, economic and environmental problems, researches are going on in these areas. Nowadays it is incorporated with vapour compression system to make hybrid system in order to achieve a greater COP and efficiency. This paper presents the basic and advanced aspects of adsorption refrigeration cycle and its hybrid arrangements with pre-existing system. This paper described the different types of conventional and novel adsorbent - adsorbate working pairs and provides detailed review about the past and present state of art research in this field.
