Dynamic simulation of an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dynamic model of a single-effect absorption refrigeration cycle has been developed. Modeling of the cycle performance requires thermodynamic properties which are obtained from equations of state for refrigerant-absorbent mixtures. The transient response of the absorption refrigeration cycle is investigated using mass, momentum and energy balances for the different parts of the system. Some design and operation parameters that affect the cycle performance are identified.

Simple Functions for Predicting Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonia-Water Mixture (RESEARCH NOTE)
The engineering calculation and simulation of absorption refrigeration systems require the availability of simple and efficient functions for the determination of thermodynamic property values of the operating fluid. This work presents a set of five simple and explicit functions for the determination of the vapor - liquid equilibrium properties of the ammonia-water mixture. The functions are co...
متن کاملExergoeconomic Evaluation of an Integrated Nitrogen Rejection Unit with LNG and NGL Co-Production Processes Based on the MFC and Absorbtion Refrigeration Systems
Natural gas is often associated with nitrogen and heavy compounds. The Heavy components in the natural gas not only can feed downstream units, owing to the low temperature process may be formed solid as well. Therefore, heavy components separation can be a necessity and produce useful products. Virtually, all natural gases are containing nitrogen that would lower the heating value of natural ...
متن کاملMathematical Model of a Vapour Absorption Refrigeration Unit
By means of carefully devised assumptions, a simple linear model is presented for an absorption refrigeration unit employing either water-lithium bromide or ammonia-water refrigerant-absorbent pairs. Absorption systems are an alternative to vapour compression systems by being thermally activated. Such heat energy may come from the sun or even from hot exhaust gases from a particular engineering...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Novel Combined Absorption Cycle for Power Generation and Refrigeration
Cogeneration can improve energy utilization efficiency significantly. In this paper, a new ammonia-water system is proposed for the cogeneration of refrigeration and power. The plant operates in a parallel combined cycle mode with an ammonia-water Rankine cycle and an ammonia refrigeration cycle, interconnected by absorption, separation, and heat transfer processes. The performance was evaluate...
