Summary

A diffusion absorption refrigerator is a heat powered refrigeration system. It can be operated without using any electrical or mechanical energy. It uses three component working fluids: ammonia-water-lithium. This system has no moving parts. Circulation of the working fluid is achieved using a bubble-pump. In this paper, a simple mathematical model is developed. The results show that the performance of the system is strongly dependent upon the bubble-pump characteristics and the evaporator and absorber mass transfer performance.
