A new absorption heat pump.

Author(s) : FELDMAN K. T. Jr, JENSEN C. M., KIM K. J., RAZANI A.

Summary

A new absorption heat pump is being developed that uses a new organometallic liquid absorbent and hydrogen or nitrogen gas as a refrigerant. The organometallic liquid is environmentally clean, has about 1.3 wt.% hydrogen uptake capacity, and has a ratio of enthalpy change/heat capacity of about 10-15 times higher than that of ammonia/water, so more compact, higher power density heat pumps are possible. The compressor-driven and heat-driven heat pumps are described and analyzed. The analysis indicates that high efficiencies are possible.
