A new type consolidated composite activated carbon (AC) was developed with a host matrix of expanded natural graphite treated with sulfuric acid (ENG-TSA). Samples with different density, different grain size of AC, and different proportion of AC were produced and thermo-physical properties were evaluated. Results show that the highest effective thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of consolidated composite AC were 34.2Wm−1K−1and 3.89×10−5m2s−1, which were 150 times and 72 times higher, respectively, than ordinary granular AC. The permeability of adsorbents ranged between 1.24×10−14and 7.81×10−10m2while the density ranged between 215 and 448kgm−3. The adsorption performance for composite AC and granular AC were evaluated by fitting experimental data with the equilibrium Dubinin–Astakhov (D–A) equations. Results show that the addition of ENG-TSA can improve the performance of adsorption refrigeration machines by increasing the concentration swing.
