Review of Heat and Mass Transfer Enhancement Techniques and Current Advancement for Adsorption Heating/Cooling Systems (2019)
Journal Article
Omer, S., Wajid, N. M., Mompuouo, B., & Riffat, S. B. (2019). Review of Heat and Mass Transfer Enhancement Techniques and Current Advancement for Adsorption Heating/Cooling Systems. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 14(4), 461–467. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctw010

Adsorption heating/cooling became an alternative to vapour compression system due to low ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). However, more investigation is required due their low efficiency when compared to conventiona...

Experimental performance of latent thermal energy storage for sustainable cooling of buildings in hot-arid regions (2019)
Journal Article
Zeinelabdein, R., Omer, S., & Gan, G. (2019). Experimental performance of latent thermal energy storage for sustainable cooling of buildings in hot-arid regions. Energy and Buildings, 186, 169-185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.01.013

Highlights • A modular PCM-air heat exchanger for free cooling of buildings has been proposed • Narrow air flow channels result in a higher cooling potential and a faster charging process • Thermal comfort period provided by the system during the dis...
