A hydroscopic polymer is used as the adsorbent in an adsorption refrigeration system. A pair of plate-type heat exchangers, thinly coated with the polymer, is simulated using a two-dimensional transient model to predict performance of the system. It is predicted that the system would yield 0.57 kW SCP and 0.47 COP at $80^{\circ}C$ heating and $30^{\circ}C$ cooling temperatures. In comparison with a conventional silica gel-water system, the COP is comparable but SCP is about three times larger. The slow mass diffusion rate of the polymer should be improved for better performance.
