Absorption/compression heat pump prototype for space heating and cooling using organic fluids with plate heat exchangers.

Author(s) : NOGUÉS M., VALLÈS M., BOUROUIS M., et al.

Summary

The authors consider the organic mixture methanol-TEGDME to be the most suitable pair. In the cooling mode, the unit operates as a double effect absorption/compression cycle, while in the heating mode the operation is shifted to a single effect in order to avoid higher generator temperatures. To overcome the poor transport properties of the organic mixture, the authors considered plate heat exchangers. An experimental prototype, with a target capacity of 20 kW in the cooling mode, was built and tested on a bench. The primary energy ratio in the cooling mode is close to 1. The first experimental results confirmed that the device is practically feasible.
