Abstract

The construction and automatic control of single-stage six-bed adsorption heat pump for heating and cooling purposes is discussed. The presented device is design to simulate operating conditions as well as temperature and uptake changes in the adsorbers/desorbers and consequently to describe the performance of the six–bed adsorption heat pump. The authors focus on advanced operation and strategy of multi-bed heat pump adsorber/desorber performance configuration. Through the use of a sequential system of sorption columns operation, the continuous character of the gained power of device in a wide range is obtained. It is possible as a result of using in the device the quantitative control of the pump by switching sequentially columns (sequential control), quality control by changing the temperature of heating/cooling water flowing in series or parallel through sorption columns and by changing the time parameter of sorption process (adsorption/desorption time) of the bed.
