Abstract:

This paper presents the design of a solar/gas driving double effect LiBr-H2O absorption system. In order to use solar energy more efficiently, a new kind of solar/gas driving double effect LiBr-H2O absorption system is designed. In this system, the high-pressure generator is driven by conventional energy, natural gas, and solar energy together with water vapor generated in the high-pressure generator, which supplies energy to the low-pressure generator for a double effect absorption system. Simulation results illustrate that this kind of system is feasible and economical. Economic evaluation of several systems is also given in this paper in order to get a clear knowledge of the energy consumption of the system.
