Abstract:

This research intended to develop and characterization of new generation zeolite from based on Indonesia natural zeolite as adsorbents and water will be used as the refrigerant. However, the main drawback of parent zeolite materials is their low thermal conductivity. To properly address this issue consolidated composite adsorbents will be developed. researcher and student exchange, collaborative scientific paper were enhanced. Commercialization of the results of the research is under consideration.
