Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Optimized Heat and Mass Exchangers for Sorption Cooling Systems”. Sorption heat transformer and storage systems offer clean solutions for decarbonization of heating and cooling, run by low-grade thermal energy, i.e., heat sources with temperature less than 100 °C, such as waste heat, which is non-payable. Additionally, sorption systems have a negligible carbon footprint. Despite all the promising features and benefits, the current sorption systems are not ready for wide market adoption. A revolutionary approach to their design and development is needed to overcome their technical limitations, such as low specific cooling power (SCP), low coefficient of performance (COP), and low energy storage density (ESD). This issue aims to collect contributions on recent advances in the field of heat and mass exchangers for sorption cooling, heating, and storage systems with a special focus on, but not limited to the following aspects:
- Enhanced adsorptive heat and mass exchangers;
- The thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption heat transformer and storage;
- Enhancement of ESD, COP, and SCP;
- Control methods for adsorption systems;
- Compact adsorber bed design;
- Advanced cycles;
- Adsorption heat and cold storage system;
- Adsorption cooling system;
- Novel adsorptive working pairs;
- Other related topics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
