CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES OF ABSORPTION HEAT PUMPS IN COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS IN JAPAN.

Summary

THE PAPER INTRODUCES SOME EXAMPLES OF UTILIZING ABSORPTION HEA T PUMPS IN URBAN ENERGY SYSTEMS AMID JAPAN'S ACTIVE CITY REDEVELOPMENT BOON AT PRESENT. CURRENTLY EMPLOYED ABSORPTION HEAT PUMPS ARE OF A WATER HEAT SOURCE TYPE. THEY ARE MOSTLY USED IN CASES WHERE THEIR HEAT SOURCE SYSTEM IS RELATIVELY LARGE. THE AUTHOR IS AIMING ULTIMATELY AT IMPLEMENTING AN AIR HEAT SOURCE ABSORPTION HEAT PUMP. AS A FIRST STEP TOWARD THIS GOAL, HE HAS SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED THE WORLD'S FIRE WATER-LITHIUM BROMIDE BASED, AIR-COOLED, GAS-FIRED ABSORPTION WATER CHILLER-HEATER USING A DOUBLE EFFECT CYCLE. THE NEW WATER CHILLER-HEATER ELNGOTNTTOP. THE PAPER CONCLUDES BY OUTLINING CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES OF THE ONGOING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ABSORPTION HEAT PUMPS.
