This paper evaluates the absorption and desorption rates of a potassium/water binary mixture and compares them to those of lithium bromide/water. The experimental procedure involved small-scale absorption chiller test rig. Extensive instrumentation was used so that identical operating conditions cou

β¦ 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.
