Use analysis of water-lithium bromide multi-effect pressure-stage coabsorbent cycle in air conditioning.

Author(s) : STAICOVICI M. D.

Summary

This paper shows how the recent coabsorbent and the mature air conditioning technologies could be linked for the latter benefit. The coabsorbent chillers base on 3- to 5-effect H2O-LiBr absorption and hybrid pressure-stage cycles. The air conditioning at hand is modeled from the heat exchange and thermodynamic point of view, with a classic flow chart. The heat exchange model results show that it is possible to replace the classic condensing subcycle of a pressure-stage cascade by a nontruncated coabsorbent subcycle. The thermodynamic model results are given in a tabular form for different air conditioner temperature pinch values [small (2.5-3ºC), average (5ºC) and average-high 8ºC)], fresh air fractions (0.1 to 1.0) and typical dry-warm and humid-warm climates. The chilling COP increases with the temperature pinch decrease from 8 to 2.5-3.0°C. Keeping this temperature pinch within 5 to 8°C would ensure feasibility, enjoying a cooling effectiveness increase by cca. 50 to 100% and more, as compared to the today air conditioning based on 2- and 3-effect condensing cycles with H2O-LiBr. Unlike the existing technology, in our case it is possible to save comparatively up to 60 and 100% primary energy in case of the two considered climates, when the fresh air fraction increases and covers the whole range.
