Summary

The double-effect parallel flow absorption refrigeration cycle with water-lithium bromide as working fluid is analysed based on the concept of equilibrium temperature at the low pressure generator. COP and its sensitivity to operating conditions are compared with those for series flow cycle. Maximum attainable COP for parallel flow cycle is greater than that for series flow cycle throughout the range of operating conditions considered in the article. Performance of parallel flow system is more sensitive to the effectiveness of low pressure heat exchanger than that of series flow system.
