Summary

THE NEW CYCLE USES AMMONIA-WATER MIXTURE AND AN ABSORPTION PROCESS SIMILAR TO THAT OF ABSORPTION REFRIGERATORS. DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ARE SIMPLE. FOR FIXED UPPER AND LOWER TEMPERATURES, THE NEW CYCLE SHOWS AN EFFICIENCY 20 % HIGHER THAN THAT OF THE RANKINE CYCLE IF THE BOILING TEMPERATURE IS HIGH,AND MUCH HIGHER FOR LOW BOILING TEMPERATURES. A PARAMETRIC STUDY HAS ALSO BEEN CONDUCTED SHOWING THAT THE OPTIMUM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MASS FRACTIONS OF THE RICH AND WEAK SOLUTIONS IS ABOUT 0.1 KG AMMONIA/KG MIXTURE.
