Adsorption Properties of Malaysian Activated Carbon for Use in Solar Refrigerator

Detail experiments and analyses have been made on the solar refrigerator using activated charcoal and methanol adsorption cycle. A test rig was designed to study adsorption and desorption capability of activated carbon. A comparison has been made between adsorbability of six Malaysian commercial...
