    Description

    The Solar Thermal Adsorptive Refrigerator (STAR) project in partnership with the Ethos R&D program at the University of Dayton seeks to reduce the need for reliable refrigeration in developing communities. The STAR refrigerator does not require electricity for operation and uses a safe, environmentally benign, and locally available adsorption pair of activated carbon and ethanol. This project explores the effect of different activated carbon pre-treatment methods on the cyclic performance of the STAR system.
