Control of Heating and Cooling of Adsorbers for Adsorption Cooling from Vehicle Exhaust Waste Heat using Programmable Logic Controller

In this research work, a new adsorber prototype using programmable logic controller (PLC) for adsorption cooling using exhaust waste heat was designed, built and successfully tested. PLC control application was applied to control the heating and cooling of these adsorbers. The timing for opening...
