Improving the performance of ammonia-water absorption cycles using salt additives and membranes.

Author(s) : IBRAHIM O. M., BARNETT S. M., BALAMURU V. G.

Summary

The paper proposes a new design of an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration cycle for low-temperature heat sources such as solar energy and waste heat. The proposed cycle uses a salt additive to shift the chemical equilibrium toward more effective separation of ammonia molecules from aqueous solution. Since salt additives can affect all aspects of the absorption cycle, membranes have been chosen to control the flow of ions in the cycle and limit their effects to the generation side.
