Thermodynamic design data for absorption heat transformers—Part II. Operating on water-calcium chloride
Abstract The Gibbs phase rule and the thermodynamic properties of the working pair limit the choice of operating temperatures. For any combination of the temperatures, the concentrations in the absorber and the generator and hence the flow ratio are fixed. For any particular working pair, the coefficient of performance is related to the flow ratio. Tables of possible combinations of operating temperatures and concentrations, including flow ratios, Carnot coefficients of performance and enthalpy based coefficients of performance have been presented for absorption heat transformers operating on water-lithium bromide. The interaction of operating temperatures has been illustrated graphically.
Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of a High Temperature Triple Absorption Heat Transformer
First law of thermodynamics has been used to analyze and optimize inclusively the performance of a triple absorption heat transformer operating with LiBr/H2O as the working pair. A thermodynamic model was developed in EES (engineering equation solver) to estimate the performance of the system in terms of the most essential parameters. The assumed parameters are the temperature of the main components, weak and strong solutions, economizers' efficiencies, and bypass ratios. The whole cycle is optimized by EES software from the viewpoint of maximizing the COP via applying the direct search method. The optimization results showed that the COP of 0.2491 is reachable by the proposed cycle.
