The equations describing a lumped parameter model were used to analyze internal heat transfer in the cooling installation. Those equations result from the energy balances of the chiller, PCM thermal storage unit and heat load. The influence of the control of the heat transfer fluid flow rate and heat capacity of the system components on the whole system operation was investigated. The model was used to validate the selection of Rubitherm RT62HC as a PCM for thermal storage. It also allowed us to assess the temperature levels that are likely to appear during the operation of the system before it will be constructed.}, type={Article}, title={Performance analysis and PCM selection for adsorption chiller aided by energy storage supplied from the district heating system}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/126304/PDF/art06_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2022.144409}, keywords={Thermal sorption cooling, Phase change material, thermal energy storage, district heating, Adsorption, energy management, mathematical modelling, Load shifting, efficiency}, }
