Absorption Cycle

This paper describes a novel vapour absorption refrigeration cycle which uses a steam ejector to enhance the concentration process of the cycle. The paper provides a complete description of the cycle and presents the results of a theoretical study before going on to describe and evaluate the outcomes of an experimental programme. The results of this investigation showed that with the addition of a steam ejector as described the coefficient of performance (COP) of the single-effect lithium bromide absorption cycle can be increased from about 0.7 to at least 1.0 without any increase in corrosion rates often associated with high temperature vapour generators used in conventional machines of this type.

Better Than

The absorption refrigeration machines represent a good alternative to compression refrigeration machines but the major problem of this type of refrigeration lies in the COP, which seems to be less efficient. Several researches are carried out to improve the performances of these machines such as the combination with the technology of the ejectors. In this work, we are interested in the three ammonia-water absorption cycles: Single effect absorption, Ejector-absorption and Combined ejector-flash tank absorption cycles. A gas-gas ejector would be installed between the generator and the condenser. We suppose that adding a flash tank between the condenser and the evaporator could help improve the entrainment ratio of the ejector. We used simulations in order to compare the performances of these three different cycles. The simulation results demonstrate that the combined ejector-flash tank absorption cycle performs better than others.

Absorption Cycle

Refrigeration by absorption is gaining more and more importance nowadays especially in applications where the source of energy used in the generator is renewable. However the major problem of this type of refrigeration lies in the COP, which seems to be weaker than compression machines. The use of an ejector is one of the means that can help overcome this problem. In this work, we are interested in the ammonia-water absorption cycle comprising a gas-gas ejector interposed between the generator and the condenser. We suppose that adding a flash tank between the condenser and the evaporator could help improve the entrainment ratio of the ejector. Simulations using the Hysys software are performed in order to look for the optimal conditions for the work of this machine and to make a comparison in terms of performance with single effect cycles. Results showed a significant improvement in the COP and proved therefore that it has better performance than single effect cycles.

Thermal And Chemical Stability

Ionic liquids are generally non-volatile, non-toxic, and nonflammable with high heat capacity, high density, and high thermal and chemical stability. This paper considers their use as absorbents in an absorption refrigeration cycle. A dynamic model of a single-effect absorption refrigeration cycle using ionic liquids as absorbent is developed. Modeling of the cycle performance requires thermodynamic properties which are obtained from an equation of state for the refrigerant-absorbent mixture (solution). The transient response of the cycle is investigated. Some design and operating parameters that affect the cycle performance are identified.

When compared with LiBr/H2O, an absorption refrigeration cycle using CaCl2/H2O as the working pair needs a lower driving heat source temperature, that is, CaCl2/H2O has a better refrigeration characteristic. However, the crystallization temperature of CaCl2/H2O solution is too high and its absorption ability is not high enough to achieve an evaporation temperature of 5 °C or lower. CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O was proposed and its crystallization temperature, saturated vapor pressure, density, viscosity, specific heat capacity, specific entropy, and specific enthalpy were measured to retain the refrigeration characteristic of CaCl2/H2O and solve its problems. Under the same conditions, the generation temperature for an absorption refrigeration cycle with CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O was 7.0 °C lower than that with LiBr/H2O. Moreover, the cycle’s COP and exergy efficiency with CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O were approximately 0.04 and 0.06 higher than those with LiBr/H2O, respectively. The corrosion rates of carbon steel and copper for the proposed working pair were 14.31 μm∙y−1 and 2.04 μm∙y−1 at 80 °C and pH 9.7, respectively, which were low enough for engineering applications.
