Hotel room air conditioner design based on the diffusion-absorption cycle.

Author(s) : KIM K. J., CHEN J., SHI Z., HEROLD K. E.

Summary

The diffusion-absorption technology is based on the Platen-Munters cycle and is currently used for hotel room and recreational vehicle refrigerators. The unique features of this technology are 1) that it can be gas-fired with no electric input required, and 2) that machines based on this cycle are essentially silent. Expanding the diffusion-absorption technology to the hotel room air-conditioning market seems highly attractive for providing a low-noise alternative to the widely used vapour-compression system. It should be noted that the design proposed uses electric-driven fans to assist the heat rejection processes. A computer model that simulates the cycle was developed.
