Find an optimal working fluid pair to improve cooling capacity and cooling efficiency. The basic theory of adsorption equilibrium was applied to determine the properties of several possible adsorption refrigeration new working fluid pairs of zeolite-ethanol, zeolite-ethylene glycol and zeolite-isopropanol. The results show that the developed zeolite-ethanol working fluid pair is a good substitute for zeolite-water and activated carbon-methanol working fluid pairs, and its refrigeration capacity can be increased by 74.93% compared with the zeolite-hydroworking fluid pair, which is a working fluid pair with practical prospects.
