For air-conditioning purposes, commercial systems use water as the refrigerant and silica gel or zeolite as the adsorbent. An essential difference between adsorption and liquid absorption systems is that the solid cannot circulate as the solution does for absorption. This forces us to design fixed-bed adsorbers, containing the adsorbent in granular form or in the form of layers of adsorbent deposited on tubes or fins (see §
