From the author: Adsorption air-cooling systems powered by waste heat or solar heat can help to reduce the use of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro-chlorofluoro-carbons (HCFCs). In recent years, these systems have faced increasing interest in many fields because they are quiet, long lasting, inexpensive to maintain, and environmentally friendly. This paper presents a laboratory prototype of an automobile adsorption air-conditioning system powered by exhaust heat, which has been successfully built and tested in the laboratory. The working pair used is a locally produced palm-derived activated carbon with methanol. Experimental results obtained show that, by having a cycle time of 20 minutes, an average chilled-air temperature of around 73.0[degrees]F (22.6[degrees]C) is achieved when the cooling coil temperatures fell between 49[degrees]F to 58[degrees]F (9.5[degrees]C to 14.7[degrees]C). The coefficient of performance (COP) and specific cooling power (SCP) of this prototype are approximately 0.19 and 614 Btu/h*lb (396.6 [Wkg.sup.-1]), respectively.
