✦ Synopsis


A computational model is developed for the parametric investigation of single-effect and series flow double-effect LiBr/ H 2 O absorption refrigeration systems. The effects of generator, absorber, condenser, evaporator and dead state temperatures are examined on the performance of these systems. The parameters computed are coefficient of performance (COP), exergy destruction rates, thermal exergy loss rates, irreversibility and exergetic efficiency. The results indicate that COP and exergetic efficiency of both the systems increase with increase in the generator temperature. There exist different optimum values of generator temperature for maximum COP and maximum exergetic efficiency. The optimum generator temperature is lower corresponding to maximum exergetic efficiency as compared to optimum generator temperature corresponding to maximum COP. The effect of increase in absorber, condenser and evaporator temperatures is to decrease the exergetic efficiency of both the systems. The irreversibility is highest in absorber in both systems.

A comparative thermodynamic study of the vapour absorption refrigeration systems (VARS) working with HFC134a and HCFC22 is presented. Due to its superior performance in HCFC22-based VARS, dimethyl acetamide is chosen as the solvent for both the refrigerants. It is observed that the HCFC22-based syst
