Simulation Study on Solar Single/Double-Effect Switching LiBr-H2O Absorption Refrigeration System

In this study, a solar single/double-effect switching LiBr-H2O absorption refrigeration system was investigated to make full use of energy and give play the advantages systems. A corresponding thermodynamic dynamic mathematical model developed. The operation characteristics operating continuously for one week were analyzed. order highlight system, it compared with other forms systems compression practical application potential evaluated from perspective economy environmental effect. results showed that could achieve between single-effect mode double-effect under weather conditions high radiation intensity, daily cooling efficiency on such days relatively high. After an auxiliary heater added, primary savings 25–52%, depending area collector volume storage tank. fraction about 71.99% continuous during whole season. However, initial investment cost equipment accounted 89.66% total cost. Compared traditional higher, but had better protection
