Chill Storage and Heat-Activated Refrigeration Using Complex-Compound Sorption

Abstract

This report documents the design and testing of a field refrigerator that has been delivered to the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center, Soldier and Biological Chemical Command, as the culmination of a four-phase Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) project that started in April 1995.
