Desert Fridge Research Project

Working away through Kays work and came across an equation that describes mass-creation rate due to chemical reactions.... this does happen ...

Tancio suggested we could somehow incorporate smart materials into our control system for the adsorption refrigeration cycle. Smart material...

Hit a brick wall with the building of the absorption refrigeration ( Einstein’s fridge and solar ice maker ) prototypes. Having acquired...

Looking at the wet bulb temperatures for Gambia we can see that there is little cooling in the rainy season (June to Oct) when the humidity ...

The wet bulb temperature is as cool as the Desert Fridge could possibly get. Since it is currently being used in Gambia, I have plotted the ...

Inner pot DF: Steel vs Aluminium (more new results) The results of the first run of the experiment to compare the effectiveness of Steel vs ...

Now I need to build some control system for the prototypes of these systems. Flow rate In order to design the electrical circuit we will nee...

Finally got all equipment together to set up the test cell

Posted this blog on www.refrigeration-engineer.com forum and received a suggestion to consider the use of the thermoelectric Peltier effec...

On further consideration it may be possible to maintain a constant temperature inside the cold store using only solar power by either: 1) Co...

The ideal scenario is if we had a system that could maintain a room (lets say at least 20 cubic meters capacity to anywhere between 0-20oC (...
