Pinch-point analysis: an aid to understanding the GAX absorption cycle.

Author(s) : HANNA W. T., SAUNDERS J. H., WILKINSON W. H., PHILIPS D. B.

Summary

The generator-absorber heat exchange (GAX) cycle is an absorption heat pump cycle that appears to offer the best potential for an efficient, gas-fired absorption heat pump for residential applications. The GAX cycles under development use the same ammonia-water working fluids and have many of the same components and functions as previous gas-fired absorption air conditioners, but with increased heat recovery and a higher COP. The distinguishing feature of the GAX cycle is the unique way that heat recovery is accomplished within the cycle. In the paper the authors show how a pinch-point analysis technique can illustrate the operation of a GAX cycle.
