Equivalent Carnot cycles for sorption refrigeration.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

Temperature-entropy diagrams are usually used to describe heat-driven engines as well as vapour compressor refrigerators, but they have not yet been used for sorption refrigeration. Such Carnot cycles are introduced here to describe three sorption refrigeration technologies (liquid absorption, solid absorption, chemical reaction). This is performed for basic cyles (without heat recovery) and for simple advanced cycles. Equivalent four-temperature Carnot cycles are obtained for basic cycles, whereas equivalent six-temperature Carnot cycles are obtained for advanced cycles.
