Experimental investigations on adsorption air-conditioner used in internal-combustion locomotive driver-cabin

An internal-combustion locomotive driver-cabin adsorption air-conditioner is a new type of space cooling system, which employs zeolite-water as working pairs and is driven by the waste heat from the exhaust gas of internal-combustion engines. Experiment methodology of this air-conditioner is presented and the results and their impact factors are discussed. Refrigeration output performances under adiabatic and cooling conditions are analyzed as well.
