Energy and Exergy Analysis of the Performance of a Double Effect Libr-H2O Absorption Chiller Using the Adapted Characteristic Equations Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Various researchers have developed a model of conventional H2O -LiBr absorption machines, with the aim of predicting their performance. In this paper, the methodology of the adaptation of the characteristic equations is applied; this model is able to represent the cooling capacity of the double effect absorption chiller by means of simple algebraic linear equation. As a result, it is concluded that a good agreement between the theoretical simulation using the thermodynamic model and the results obtained on the literature. The results achieved through the adapted characteristic equations model have a deviation less than 10% for the cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance COP, and less than 15% for the heat capacity comparing to the thermodynamic model results. The developed characteristic equations and their assessment are useful for the simulation and the control purpose.
