HYPERABSORPTION: A NEW ABSORPTION HEAT PUMP CONCEPT.

Author(s) : MACRISS R. A.

Summary

THE MAJOR INHERENT LIMITATION OF THE CONVENTIONAL ABSORPTION CYCLE IS ITS RELATIVELY LOW COP. POTENTIAL APPROACHES TO ACHIEVING HIGHER EFFICIENCIES ARE EITHER ADVANCED, MULTISTAGE-MULTIEFFECT CYCLES, NEW WORKING FLUIDS OR RADICALLY NEW CYCLES. NEW WORKING FLUIDS TO DATE HAVE BEEN LESS THAN SATISFACTORY WHEN COMPARED TO THE TRADITIONAL AMMONIA-WATER AND WATER-LITHIUM BROMIDE ABSORPTION FLUIDS. THE PAPER PRESENTS A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF A RADICALLY NEW CYCLE, TERMED THE < HYPERABSORPTION > CYCLE, WHICH USES SATURATED SALT SOLUTIONS (3 PHASES PRESENT). LITERATURE DATA ON FLUID SYSTEMS, CYCLE FORMULATIONS AND CONCEPTUALIZATION, AND PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS ARE PRESENTED.
