Experimental and performance study of the compact solar absorption air-conditioner system with thermosiphon solution elevation pump

Abstract

A new type LiBr adsorption solar air-condition system with thermosiphon solution elevation pump is designed, whose evaporator and absorption tanks are combined in a circularity, which makes the chill part very compact. On the basis of theoretical arithmetic, the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient on the evaporator side and the theoretical refrigerating capacity are got theoretically. By experimental study, some useful performance curves are got, which is significant for optimal design and improvement. The refrigerating capacity of the system can be got to be 2.14kW.
