Practical adsorption thermal refrigeration unit has been designed for the climatic conditions of Pakistan using Flat plate collector with activated carbon and methanol pair as adsorbent and refrigerant. This paper represents the collector performance in climatic conditions of Islamabad Pakistan with real time testing followed by a mathematical model. Real time data has been used in the mathematical model to evaluate the collector performance. In winter maximum collector temperature reached 68 Degree Celsius (154.4°F) in the month of December when ambient temperature was 7 degree Celsius (44.3°F )with maximum efficiency that is 44%. It can be anticipated from the given results that effectiveness of the collector will increase in summer season due to higher ambient temperatures.
