Compression-absorption cycle using the water-ammonia pair designed for air conditioning.

Summary

This system presents two key advantages, compared with compression: the large difference of temperature between the hot source and the cold one, while pressure limits are kept acceptable, a glide of temperature in absorber and desorber. Therefore using it as a thermo-frigo pump (joint production of heat and cold) is possible. The applications fit domains of HVAC (air conditioning together with hot water production, latent energy storage) as well as food process. An investigation of various types of hybrid cycles is presented. Energetic performances of those systems are compared, referred to the pure compression system using ammonia.
