Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

In the work, the spray absorption method is studied for the absorption of ammonia refrigerant vapour by lithium nitrate-ammonia solutions. Mass transfer coefficients attainable using the spray absorption method are estimated. In this study the low-pressure absorber of a double-stage absorption refrigeration system is considered. Results show that the mass transferred is maximum (about 60% of the total) during the deceleration period of the drops. This period represents about 13.4% of the time required to reach the equilibrium state at the end of the absorption chamber. The results show that a time-average mass transfer coefficient may be attained.
