Ammonia-water bubble absorber with a plate heat exchanger.

Author(s) : KANG Y. T., CHRISTENSEN R. N., KASHIWAGI T.

Summary

The objectives of the paper are to develop a design model for a bubble absorber with plate heat exchangers and to evaluate the heat and mass transfer resistances within both liquid and bubble. It was found that the heat transfer resistance was dominant in the vapour region, while the mass transfer resistance was dominant in the liquid region. The mass transfer area was found to have more significant effect on the size of the bubble absorber than the heat transfer area. All geometric variables could be selected optimally for given thermal conditions by the design model developed in the paper.
