Green carbon based heating

New press release on greenwisebusiness.co.uk detailing the work I mentioned by Professor Critoph's team at Warwick University on a new method using waste heat from car engines to power air conditioning units using adsorption technology.
The article highlights something I mentioned before about the energy saving benefits associated with powering air conditioning using waste heat rather than engine power "In car air conditioning systems, it is expected to reduce both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by nearly five per cent."
The Rubotherm systems there allow them to carry out research on ammonia sorption without risk to the high precision balance so they can accurately investigate the effect of various conditions (including high pressures) on the ammonia sorption into activated carbon samples.
