The　design　integration　of　absorption　and　adsorption　cooling　systems　is　a　recently　emerging　research　field　in　which　the　inherent　advantages　of　both　these　systems　are　intended　to　be　combined　so　as　to　maximize　system　performance.　However,　a　vast　majority　of　the　conventional　integration　approaches　reported　in　the　literature　still　suffer　from　the　following　drawbacks:　(a)　the　inability　to　provide　a　continuous　cooling　effect　of　the　integrated　design　during　the　switching　period　of　the　adsorption　component,　(b)　the　lack　of　incorporation　of　the　mass/heat　recovery　cycles　and　its　subsequent　effects　upon　the　integrated　performance,　and　(c)　the　lack　of　functional　dependence　of　all　thermodynamic　variables　including　heat　capacities　and　adsorption　enthalpy　upon　operational　parameters　such　as　temperature　and　pressure.　This　study　presents　the　first　attempt　of　a　numerically　validated　performance　prediction　of　such　an　integrated　system　with　parallel　functionality　to　facilitate　a　continuous　cooling　operation.　An　empirical　model　of　mass　recovery　cycle　has　been　formulated　for　the　very　first　time　which　adequately　describes　the　sorption　dynamics　during　mass　transfer.　All　thermodynamic　variables　have　been　expressed　as　functions　of　operational　parameters　during　the　cooling　cycle.　For　a　mean　driving　temperature　predicted　to　be　as　low　as　38 °C　and　a　mean　cycle　time　of　11.82 min,　the　proposed　integrated　design　has　been　predicted　to　yield　a　cycle-averaged　specific　cooling　power　of　48.93　W kg−1　and　a　minimum　achievable　coefficient　of　performance　of　0.74　compared　to　the　corresponding　values　of　27.64　W kg−1　and　0.57　for　the　benchmark　stand-alone　silica　gel/water　adsorption　chiller.　©　King　Fahd　University　of　Petroleum　&　Minerals　2024.
