One of our main priorities is the training of students and young graduates, providing basic training to initiate them into scientific and technical research.
Our main research task is the development of a solar refrigerator that works on the principle of adsorption. This project is developed in two lines: theoretical and experimental. The theoretical aspect focuses on the mathematical modeling of the operation of the adsorption refrigeration device, while the experimental aspect is based on obtaining the crucial data for the implementation of the model. This includes measuring the properties of different types of activated carbons or temperatures reached in the different solar refrigerators we have built.
Our laboratory equipment is also available to provide services to those who need to perform specific measurements, such as process enthalpies or adsorption isotherms.
