Polybranched regenerative generator-absorber heat exchange (GAX) cooling cycles.
Author(s) : STAICOVICI M. D.
Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
After a short characterization of today's advanced absorption cooling systems, of multi-effect and GAX-type, the paper introduces polybranched regenerative GAX cycles. A model is proposed and applied to cycles with one to three stages working with the ammonia/water-lithium bromide combination. Compared with those with vapour exchange, operated with water-ammonia, one of the best GAX cycles till now, a three-stage polybranched regenerative cycle has 1.25-1.9 times higher COP values and represents 71-82% of the Carnot cooling efficiency for lifts varying between 68 and 47 deg C. The polybranched regenerative cycle double-effect cycle, provided with rectification heat recovery, a two-stage polybranched regenerative cycle is constructively simpler and thermally with about 40% more performance.
