Absorption cycles using low-temperature heat sources for refrigeration and heat pumps.

Author(s) : IZQUIERDO M., VENEGAS M., VEGA M. de, et al.

Summary

The use of low-temperature heat (between 50 and 90 °C) is studied to operate absorption machines in two different applications: refrigeration and heat pumps. A two-stage absorption machine is modelled and simulated. Results are compared for two different absorbent-refrigerant pairs: H2O-NH3 and LiNO3-NH3, in order to determine which is the most adequate for both applications. Addition of LiNO3-NH3 increases the COP in both cases.
