Thermodynamic modelling and performance study of an engine waste heat driven adsorption cooling for automotive air-conditioning by Ali, Syed Muztuza, Chakraborty, Anutosh

“…From the simulation results, it is found that the exhaust energy of a six cylinder 3000 cc private car is able to produce nearly 3 kW of cooling power for the car cabin. It is also observed that the driving heat source temperature does not remain constant throughout the cycle time unlike the conventional adsorption chiller, and the hot water temperatures as driving source vary from 65 to 95 °C. …”
