Hi, I've just joined and had a look round, and was hoping that this might be the place to get an answer to an unanswered question I've had for a long time. ...
Just saw Neil Taylors post about wanting some sort of chilling system to use waste heat from an automobile. At least 20 years ago there was an article in...
COP for absorption and adsorption machines can be in the range of 0.3-0.6 if we are talking about air conditioning purposes, and single stage machines. The...

If you already have more than 40 L of flammable petrol in your car, I still can't see why not have less than 1 L of flammable methanol,too. Anyway, neither the...
because that 40L of petrol is not "IN" your car... it's not being pumped around the engine bay... it's not being pumped in lines under the dash of your auto......
As I said, the methanol is not supposed to leak from the system. And the petrol is as much "IN" the car as the methanol will be. Why? because, methanol won't...
Neil, If you are near Coventry, pay a visit to the school of engineering in Warwick university. They are working in a project for air conditioner for car,...
Hi There are better molecules to use than methanol, ones that can be adsorbed more readily, and are not flammable. R22 is one, but it has high ozone...

Forget about liquid absorption in a car. It would be far more complicated than solid adsorption,which is already complicated enough. Due to the movement of the...
