Summary

Optimization of the generator temperatures in ammonia-water, ammonia-lithium nitrate, sodium thiocyanate and water-lithium bromide absorption cycles for fixed values of the absorber, condenser, rectifier and evaporator temperatures have been done corresponding to minimum cost of the source of energy required to operated item. The sources of energy used for the study are biogas, LPG and solar collectors. The analysis is repeated for the four absorption cycles to operate in the air-conditioning mode and the three ammonia cycles in the refrigeration mode. A comparative study between the costs of the energies in the various cycles has also been done. Graphs depicting the optimum generator temperatures and the corresponding cooling and heating performance coefficients for a wide range of operating conditions have been prepared.
