Author(s) : DEVAULT R. C., MARSALA J.

Summary

AMONG THE BASIC TRIPLE-EFFECT CYCLES ONLY 1 PARTICULAR CYCLE IS ABLE TO USE AMMONIA-WATER. IT USES 2 CONDENSERS AND 2 ABSORBERS TO ACHIEVE THE < TRIPLE EFFECT >. CALCULATIONS ARE PRESENTED SHOWING THE RELATIVE PERFORMANCE OF A CONVENTIONAL DOUBLE-EFFECT CYCLE USING AMMONIA-WATER AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS TRIPLE-EFFECT CYCLE USING AMMONIA-WATER ON A COMPARABLE BASIS. THE TRIPLE-EFFECT CYCLE IS PREDICTED TO HAVE 18% HIGHER COOLING EFFICIENCY, LOWER PRESSURE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED PUMPING POWER AND LOWER CONSTRUCTION COST.
