This research was concerned with the enhancement of heat transfer by surfactant added to the aqueous solution of LiBr. Different vertical tubes were tested with and without an additive of normal octyl alcohol. The test tubes were a bare inner surface, groove inner surface, corrugated inner surface and spring inserted inner surface tubes. The additive concentration was about 0.08 mass%. The heat transfer coefficient was measured as a function of film Reynolds number in the range of 20~200. Experiments were tarried out at higher cooling water temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ to simulate an air cooling condition for several kinds of absorber testing tubes. The experimental results were compared with cases without surfactant. The enhancement of heat transfer by Marangoni convection effect which was generated by addition of the surfactant is observed in each test tube. Especially, it is clarified that the tube with an inserted spring has the highest enhancement effect.

An unsteady quasi one-dimensional model of momentum, heat and mass transfer in a falling film of a vertical plate absorber which is cooled by air was developed using the integral method. Energy conservation of the absorber wall is considered in the model. The model can predict absorption rate, film thickness and mean velocity as well as concentration and temperature profiles. Predictions of steady state temperature and concentration profiles for LiBr/water system for constant wall temperature condition are in good agreement with the two-dimensional finite difference method solutions. Effects of operating conditions, such as convective heat transfer coefficient between the cooling air and the absorber wall, cooling air temperature and film thickness at inlet, on absorption rate of water vapor into LiBr/water solution were shown.

Computer simulation was conducted to study performance characteristics of air-cooled condenser of a double effect absorption heat pump with variations of saturation pressures and mass flow rates of the refrigerant ; volume flow rates, relative humidities and temperatures of the air The vertically installed condenser had the staggered tube array with continuous plate fins of wavy type. When the saturation pressure of the condenser was decreased from 760 torr to 20 torr, heat transfer rates and condensing rates of refrigerant were decreased. If excess refrigerant flows in the condenser, the pressure and saturation temperature of the condenser were increased which makes the refrigerating capacity of an absorption heat pump reduced.

An air-cooled ammonia/water GAX(Generator-Absorber heat eXchange) absorption cooling cycle is proposed and its performance is numerically evaluated. It is shown that the performance of the system is greatly dependent on the quality of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator. For any refrigerant concentration in the investigated range(99.1~99.9% ammonia), the cycle COP(coefficient of performance) reaches the highest value, when some amount(about 7%) of refrigerant evaporates in the refrigerant heat exchanger. Among temperature differences in various heat exchangers, the temperature difference between GAX-absorber and the GAX-generator shows the greatest effect on the system performance, whereas pressure losses cause no significant decrease in COP. The system COP increases almost linearly with increasing evaporator temperature, decreasing absorber temperature or decreasing condenser temperature. If both absorber and condenser temperature increase simultaneously, the decrease in the COP becomes larger.

수냉식 흡수식 냉동기에 주로 사용되고 있는 LiBr/water 흡수용액을 대체할 수 있는 신흡수 용액으로 제안된 흡수용액중 4성분계 흡수용액($LiBr+LiNO_3+LiC1+H_2O$)의 수증기 흡수성능을 수직관 흡수기를 사용하여 시험하였다. 시험변수로는 입구농도, 입구온도, 냉각수 입구온도, 용액유량을 변경하였다. 수증기 흡수특성 시험 결과 4성분계 용액이 LiBr/water용액보다 $2\%$ 높은 농도에서 대둥한 흡수력을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 4성분계 흡수용액이 LiBr/water용액보다 $3\%$정도 용해도가 높으므로 실제 흡수식 냉동기에 적용시 LiBr용액보다 우수한 흡수능력을 가질 수 있어 소형, 공냉형 흡수식 냉동기에 적용이 가능하다.

This paper describes the study of developing air-cooled absorption system which uses a new working solution instead of LiBr solution to improve the performance of system. The absorption chiller-heater considered was an air-cooled, double-effect, $H_2O/LiBr+HO(CH_2)_3$ system of parallel flow type. In this study, we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared the result that of LiBr solution to evaluate. The new working fluid has a wider working range with $8\%$ higher crystallization limit at the saturated refrigerant pressure of 0.8kPa. The optimum designs and operating conditions of air-cooled absorption system were suggested based on this cycle simulation analysis. It was demonstrated that new working fluid substantially improves the performance of the absorption refrigeration machine and is expected to increase the COP by as much as $5\%$.

고효율 공냉형 흡수식 냉방기를 위한 신작동매체로 기존의 $LiBr-H_2O$계에 높은 흡수성과 용해성를 지닌 $LiNO_3$과 LiCl 무기물을 각각 첨가하여 제조하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제조된 다성분계의 작동매체에 대한 용해도와 증기압을 측정하여 $LiBr-H_2O$계와 비교 분석하였으며, 이들에 대한 최적혼합비를 각각 구하였다. 용해도 측면에서 $LiBr-LiNO_3-H_2O$계의 경우, LiBr과 $LiNO_3$의 최적혼합 몰비는 5:1이었으며, 반면 $LiBr-LiNO_3-LiCl-H_2O$계의 경우 LiBr, $LiNO_3$, LiCl의 최적혼합몰비는 5:1:2로 나타났다. 한편 증기압은 $LiBr-H_2O$계에 $LiNO_3$의 첨가량이 증가하였으나, LiCl의 경우에는 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 각각 나타내었다.
