A comprehensive experiment has been conducted on a novel electro-adsorption chiller (EAC) with a rated cooling capacity of 120 W (uniform heat flux of about 4.7 W/cm2). At these rated conditions, it produces a heating load surface temperature of 23°C, about 10 degree below that of the heating-load temperature. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the prototype EAC is measured to be about 0.84.
