Thermal Examination of Vapour Absorption System using Experimental Design Method

Abstract

The experimental investigation has been carried out for 100 kW triple-effect vapor absorption refrigeration systems using parabolic trough collector. The data have been recorded and analyzed for designing a new vapor absorption refrigeration system with process heat for industrial applications for Gurugram regions of India. The solar resources have also been analyzed for designing of the system. The thermodynamic evaluation of 100 kW triple-effect vapor absorption refrigeration systems has analyzed for different parameters. The heat is supplied from solar thermal technology which converts solar radiation to useful heat of the total input energy of the proposed cooling system is taken from the heat transfer fluid through parabolic trough collector (PTC) as per availability of solar insolation at the pressurized water of 140-180 oC supplied to the generator at a mass flow rate of 7 kg/s. It is analyzed that in the month of November radiation drops because of cosine losses as compared to May and Direct Normal Irradiance decreases in the month of December, January, July, August, and September.
