Performance study of a double-absorption water calcium chloride heat transformer

摘要

In order to increase the temperature lift and efficiency of single-absorption heat transformers there are other possible arrangements. Double-absorption heat transformers have a relatively simple design and smaller size compared to two-stage heat transformers. In this work, the thermodynamic performance of the water/calcium chloride system was modelled for a double-absorption heat transformer. Results indicate that temperature lifts of up to 40 degrees C are possible with coefficients of performance close to 0 3. (C) 1998 John Wiley Sons, Ltd. References: 15
