A laboratory model refrigeration system based on indigenously developed activated carbon–carbon dioxide pair using pressure swing adsorption mechanism is developed for substituting chlorofluorocarbons from conventional refrigeration systems. The model has successfully produced chilled water at 4°C (277 K) from ambient water available at 26°C (299 K). The paper describes the design and description of the above refrigeration system model and details of the experimental result.
