Summary

An experimental investigation was conducted to validate a theoretical model using a single-stage, water-lithium bromide absorption chiller of 2 t rated capacity. The tests were conducted in a water-cooled chiller testing facility, which does not require any external heating or cooling. Instead, it employs a mixing tank that neutralizes the heating effect of the condenser-absorber with that of the cooling effect of the evaporator, and the remaining excess heat is rejected through a cooling tower. The experimental results and the manufacturer's data for the test unit both indicate a linear relationship for the proposed parameter. The cooling capacities obtained from the test unit are consistently lower than the manufacturer's by about 10-25%.
