Strontium chloride as one chemical adsorbent is characterized by swelling and agglomeration phenomena in adsorption/desorption process

which will further affect the thermal conductivity and permeability of the adsorbent. In order to determine the rules of thermal conductivity and permeability of strontium chloride under such conditions

expanded natural graphite is selected to enhance the heat and mass transfer of strontium chloride. Three kinds of different proportions as well as two kinds of different densities of strontium chloride compact adsorbents are selected to be tested for thermal conductivity and permeability by steady-heat method and Ergun model respectively. Results show that the thermal conductivity of compact adsorbents increases with the increasing ammonia contents

and the values of strontium chloride increase from 0.88W/(m?K) to 1.61W/(m?K). Permeability of compact adsorbent of strontium chloride decreases with the rise of the refrigerant content.
