Abstract

A thermodynamic analysis was carried out to compare the theoretical performance of single stage, two stage and double-absorption heat transformers operating with the water/lithium bromide and the water/Carrol mixtures, where Carrol is a mixture of lithium bromide and ethylene glycol [(CH2OH)2] in the ratio 1:4·5 by weight. A mathematical model to predict the theoretical performance of single stage and the advanced heat transformers is also described. Coefficients of performance and gross temperature lifts are compared for the different heat transformers and plotted against the main temperatures of the system for both mixtures. The water/Carrol mixture showed in general to have a better performance than the water/lithium bromide mixture. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
