Adsorption and Energy Technology Laboratory

Overview

The Adsorption and Energy Technology Laboratory (AETL) at Florida Institute of Technology focuses on the development and thermal management of adsorption-based thermal energy systems that can help mitigate the effects of climate change. These include refrigeration and air conditioning, separation, automotive, aviation, and electronic systems, as global efforts are underway to minimize dependence on fossil fuels and develop more energy-efficient, durable adsorption-based designs. Our efforts include investigating integral transport processes across all components of these energy systems to establish their feasibility and upgrade these analyses to a complete system-level performance assessment.
