The design and testing of a vapour pump in the absorption refrigeration cycle
This thesis presents a new pumping method in absorption refrigeration. A vapour pump, powered by a fraction of the high pressure refrigerant, is proposed to replace the conventionally used electric pump. The only energy required to power the cycle is the heat supplied to the generator. The system th...

| description | This thesis presents a new pumping method in absorption refrigeration. A vapour pump, powered by a fraction of the high pressure refrigerant, is proposed to replace the conventionally used electric pump. The only energy required to power the cycle is the heat supplied to the generator. The system thus becomes completely independent of the availability of electricity and can be driven by low grade energy such as waste heat. |
