Novel multi-salt sorption refrigerated truck
2020-10-10
The refrigerated trucks in the market are mainly equipped with vapor compression systems powered by the diesel engine. Sorption cooling systems for vehicles can reduce the fuel consumption by using exhaust heat recovery. However, under extreme conditions, such as low exhaust gas temperature and high ambient temperature, the conventional single-salt sorbents are not able to complete the sorption-desorption cycles. Owing to the hysteresis phenomenon of the multi-salt sorbent, the desorption temperature can be reduced and the sorption temperature can be increased.
