A new type of adsorber for an adsorption ice maker on fishing boats, which uses a compound adsorbent (activated carbon and CaCl2) and ammonia working pair, is designed. This type of heat pipe adsorber solves the problem of incompatibility between ammonia, copper, seawater and steel. The heating/cooling power for the ads orption/desorption process of the adsorbent, which is required to be transferred by one heat pipe in the adsorber, is computed by the test results of the adsorbent, and the heat transfer performance of one heat pipe in the adsorber is simulated according to the theory of the two phase closed thermosyphon. The heat transfer performance of the heat pipe can meet the heat demands for adsorption/desorption of the adsorbent when the evaporating temperature is -15 degrees C and the cycle time is 10 min. A test unit is set up to test the heating/cooling performance of the heat pipe type adsorber, and the experimental results are coincident with the simulation. The performance of a two bed adsorption ice maker with heat pipe adsorbers is predicted, and the cooling power is about 17.1-17.8 kW at the evaporating temperature of -15 degrees C and cycle time of 10min with mass recovery between two 29kg compound adsorbent beds.
