Abstract

Abstract: A thermodynamic analysis of single effect LiCl-H2 O vapour absorption cooling system of 1 TR capacity is conducted based on first and second laws. Mathematical models derived from thermodynamics theory, are employed in engineering equation solver to perform the calculations. It is found that maximum exergy destruction in system occurs in the absorber and generator while the pump and the expansion valve have the lowest. A performance comparison between LiCl-H2 O and LiBr-H2 O absorption system is also evaluated under identical operating conditions. It is found that LiCl-H2 O working pair performs thermodynamically better compared to LiBr-H2 O in vapour absorption cooling system.
