ROBUST DESIGN OF TRIPLE FLUID REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS.

Author(s) : SMITH M.

Summary

TYPICALLY A TRIPLE FLUID REFRIGERATION CYCLE AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE AMMONIA-WATER-HYDROGEN SYSTEM WILL HAVE A SIMPLE APPLICATION SUCH AS DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION, WHERE AUTOMATIC CONTROLS MUST BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM. THIS IMPLIES THAT THE CYCLE SHOULD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE BE SELF REGULATING DESPITE CHANGE IN SUCH VARIABLES AS HEAT INPUT, COLD LOAD, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, AND HYDROGEN LOSS. SENSITIVE SUBSYSTEMS ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE EVAPORATOR-ABSORBER CIRCUIT, THE VAPOUR LIFT PUMP, AND THE BOILER REFLUX CONDENSER. THERMODYNAMICISSUES AND TWO-PHASE FLOW HAVE BEEN SIMULATED TO IDENTIFY INSTABILITIES AND RECOMMEND A GENERAL DESIGN.
