Abstract
In the present chapter, the experimental methods employed for the characterisation of sorption TES are discussed. The investigated systems comprise liquid and solid sorption technologies, both for closed and open systems. In particular, the proposed procedure for the closed sorption TES systems is described in details and an example on a lab-scale adsorption TES is reported. Finally, also experimental methodologies applied for components testing, namely, kinetic testing of small-scale adsorbers and characterisation of evaporators, are introduced.
