In this paper, the principles of the operation of an adsorption cooling circuit and its operating points are analyzed through both a thermodynamic analysis and with mathematical calculations of the whole circuit and using EES to design the solar system. The results of the program are discussed and highlighted by comparing them with the results of the theoretical and experimental studies in the references.
