Principle The Solid Adsorption System
the position will absorb other without any chemical action occurs. It will absorb other substances, when the weather is cold and release it when heated. If the substance is a solid, a process sometimes called adsorption. If the substance is a liquid, when the process is called absorption. There are two types of absorption refrigerators. One uses solid adsorbent material. The other uses a liquid absorbent.
Absorption systems are further classified as:
- Intermittent systems.
- Continuous systems.
Absorption systems have several uses:
- Domestic.
- Recreational vehicles.
- Hotel rooms.
- Industrial.
- Air conditioning.
Solid adsorption systems operate on the principles discovered in 1824, the British scientist Michael Faraday. Through the experiments, he managed to liquefaction of ammonia. Prior to that time, scientists thought ammonia to be "fixed" gas. It was considered impossible to change it to a solid or liquid.
He exposed of ammonia vapours in powder, silver chloride. When silver chloride took all the vapour it can adsorb, he applied heat. This led to the formation of a liquid. However, when the heat was removed, he found that the liquid soon to ' boil." It evaporates, drawing heat from the environment. Today adsorption system uses this same phenomenon.
