The investigation is based on load series for heating and cooling obtained previously from annual building simulations in TRNSYS. A conventional compression chiller is used as the reference system against which the solar options are evaluated with respect to primary energy savings and additional cost. A parametric study on collector and storage size is carried out for the solar thermal system to reach achieve the minimal cost per unit of primary energy saved. The simulated solar electric system consists of the reference system, equipped with a grid connected photovoltaic module, which can be varied in size. For cost comparison of the two systems, the electric grid is assumed to function as a cost-free storage. A method to include macroeconomic effects in the comparison is presented and discussed.

In this model, an increment in the direction of heating/cooling fluid containing one (or more) fin pitch was considered. In the domain of this increment, the distribution of the adsorbent temperature was

Estimating the Heat Capacity of the Adsorbate–Adsorbent System from Adsorption Equilibria Regarding Thermodynamic Consistency

It is specific to the considered adsorptive gas and to the corresponding adsorbent. In previous work, it has been shown that this heat capacity can be estimated using only the properties of the gaseous phase, the adsorption equilibria, and the isosteric heats of adsorption. As these quantities are required in any case for simulations, no additional effort arises. In this paper, the separated adsorbed phase heat capacities are computed at higher accuracies by employing reversible thermodynamic paths, which traverse equilibrium states only. As a result, the thermodynamic consistency of the model improves, since the residuals of the energy and entropy balances are significantly smaller. Results are given for the water–zeolite 13X adsorption pair.

The Polanyi-Dubinin models were applied to predicting the behavior of water adsorption on Grace Silica Gel 127B at pressures not yet reported in the literature. The heat of adsorption, differential entropy, henry ratio was obtained from adsorption isotherm. The resulting extensions are experimentally and analytically presented. The coefficient of multiple correlation (R 2 ) between the thermogravimetric measurements and the MDR equation was 0.9924, which is 8.13% better than the best Dubinin-Astakhov fit.

Standard adsorption materials have not been developed for these purposes. New materials are necessary in order to improve the adsorption characteristics for these applications. Molecular simulations are seen as a promising tool to investigate the influence of molecular structure on the adsorption characteristics and thus to provide means for future improvements of such materials for application in heat transformation.
