Cost-effective ACHP enhances 2-stage, direct fired lithium bromide absorption cycle performance.

Author(s) : MECKLER M.

Summary

The paper introduces an enhanced absorption system that encompasses a compact absorbent concentrator heat pump (ACHP) unit. A uniquely configured ACHP can either be powered by an electric motor or an electric motor in tandem with an energy-recovery impulse turbine. The ACHP has a very effective heat transfer capability which contributes significantly to its compact size. Since the heat of compression is recovered as latent heat of evaporation, the ACHP operates essentially as a heat pump. It increases the volume of the refrigerant water and further concentrates the absorbent, increasing the overall system COP by an approximately 21%. A technical and economic study is proposed.
