Grid Adaptive Harmonic Adsorption Recuperative Power and Cooling System

Abstract

We introduce a new non-condensing thermodynamic cycle that uses the chemical adsorption affinity of new nanostructured porous materials in a thermal compressor that eliminates the evaporator, condenser, and high pressure pump in the standard ORC to produce 40% more power from the same temperature heat source and can switch modes to cooling if required. This CCHP system is driven by low-grade heat (T
