Summary

A method of calculating the detrimental effects of the presence of non-condensable gases on the performance of the absorber of the vapour absorption refrigeration systems is presented using data for the water-lithium bromide system with air as a contaminant gas in a film absorber. It is shown that the reduction in the heat and mass transfer can be offset by introducing turbulence into the vapour/gas mixture in the absorber. A calculation of the reduction in the COP of a water-lithium bromide system is also presented.
