Abstract
The equilibrium temperatures at the low pressure (LP) generator for double-effect series flow lithium bromide–water vapour absorption chiller are evaluated and the system performance is estimated at these temperatures. Influence of temperatures at high pressure (HP) generator, evaporator, condenser and absorber, and the effectiveness of heat exchangers on equilibrium temperature and internal heat transfer at LP generator, circulation ratio, and coefficient of performance are studied. Dual-heat mode of operation of the system is also investigated utilising low grade waste heat at the LP generator. Correlations are presented for equilibrium LP generator temperature, internal heat transfer at the low pressure generator, circulation ratio, coefficient of performance, optimum HP generator temperature and optimum circulation ratio for maximum coefficient of performance in terms of operating temperatures, which are useful in the design and control of absorption system even at the off-design conditions.
