A new absorption heat pump for simultaneous heating and air conditioning.

Summary

To meet heat and refrigeration needs (household and industrial), the authors propose a reverse cycle absorption heat pump heated by gas or fuel oil. The absorption process is in the form of a gas-liquid vertical contactor, with piston counterflow, making it possible to double the exergetic efficiency of existing absorbers. This result is even better when a heat exchanger is built into the absorption column. In addition, and unlike heat pumps with conventional compression, it is possible to vary many parameters in the structure of the contactors, regardless of the chemical pair used, thus improving the system's performance. In conclusion, the heat-pump structures presented offer a number of possible applications, and thus a great likelihood of approaching economically acceptable reversibility in operation.
