Experimental and theoretical investigation of the operating characteristics of an air cooled lithium bromide-water absorption refrigeration machine

摘要

An experimental air cooled refrigeration machine using lithium bromide-water as a working pair has been examined experimentally for a range of ambient temperature of 25 to 50°C. The evaporator temperature ranged from 4 to 16°C and the condenserfrom 37 to 62°C. The machine was designed to utilise low temperature waste heat in the generator. A theoretical analysis based on the second law was also performed.
