Abstract
A method of calculating the detrimental effects of the presence of non-condensable gases on the performance of the absorber of the vapour absorption refrigeration systems is presented using data for the lithium bromide/water system with air as a contaminant gas in a film absorber. It is shown that the reduction in the heat and mass transfer as a result of the non-condensable gas can be offset by introducing turbulence into the vapour/gas mixture in the absorber. A calculation of the reduction in the COP, due to a non-condensable gas in the absorber, of a LiBr/ H 2O system is also presented.
