Comparison of different liquid and solid sorption systems with respect to low temperature driving heat.

Author(s) : LAMP P., ZIEGLER F.

Summary

In the last years the interest in cooling systems to be driven with low temperature heat has been steadily increasing. One application is the use of solar energy for cooling. The performance of thermal collector systems increases with decreasing temperature of the heat which is delivered to the user. Therefore there seems to be a need to develop sorption cooling systems with low driving temperature (e.g. between 60 to 80 deg C). A fundamental decision influencing the performance of a sorption chiller is the choice of the working pair. In the paper different working media, liquid as well as solid sorbents, for sorption chillers are discussed. For closed single-effect cycles the minimum driving temperature for different specific solution flows is calculated.
