A library for dynamic modeling adsorption based thermal systems like chillers; heat pumps; thermal storages or desiccant units is presented. Adsorption devices serve a wide range of applications but consist of the same basic components. By modeling these basic components; the presented model library allows to investigate any interesting topology. Thereby this adsorption library gives the user the opportunity to design and optimize adsorption systems quickly and efficiently. To demonstrate the flexibility of the library; three validated examples are presented: A desiccant unit; a thermal storage; and an adsorption chiller.
