Abstract

The world is now living in an energy crisis. Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems have become the basics of daily life in various fields and accordingly, it cannot be dispensed. Refrigeration machines and air-conditioning systems are the most energy-consuming systems, independent on the application whether it is domestic, commercial, industrial or medical. Therefore, using cooling systems which are powered by thermal energy, e.g., solar energy, can save a lot of electrical energy. Absorption refrigeration system is an example of a refrigeration system powered by heat energy. However, the system problem here is that it has low coefficient of performance (COP). The objective of this research is to improve the COP of the ammonia absorption cycle. This is done in the absorber unit by improving the absorption of the refrigerant ammonia into the ammonia–water solution. The absorption efficiency is improved by using (1) a stirrer pump to improve mixing, (2) sprayers to increase the contact area between ammonia and ammonia–water solution and (3) continuous cooling of the solution during the absorption process via an external heat exchanger. The COP of the ammonia absorption cycle has increased from 0.48 to 0.715, i.e., by 49%. This is due to the improvement of the absorption of the ammonia into the ammonia–water solution.

一种提高氨吸收式制冷循环性能的新技术
世界正处于能源危机之中。制冷和空调系统已经成为各个领域日常生活的基础,因此,它是不可分割的。制冷机和空调系统是最耗能的系统,无论其应用是家庭、商业、工业还是医疗。因此,使用以热能(如太阳能)为动力的冷却系统可以节省大量电能。吸收式制冷系统是一种以热能为动力的制冷系统。然而,这里的系统问题是它的性能系数(COP)很低。本研究的目的是提高氨吸收循环的COP。这是在吸收装置中通过提高制冷剂氨进入氨-水溶液的吸收来完成的。通过使用(1)搅拌泵来改善混合,(2)喷雾器来增加氨与氨水溶液的接触面积,以及(3)在吸收过程中通过外部热交换器对溶液进行连续冷却来提高吸收效率。氨吸收循环的COP由0.48提高到0.715,即提高了49%。这是由于氨水溶液对氨水的吸收得到了改善。
