The global environmental problems such as CFC, energy losses in heat recovery system as well as summer peak time power demands, the development of high efficiency absorption refrigeration systems is one of the most promising method in this problems. The absorption refrigeration system to utilize treated sewage is available for environmental protection and energy conservation. Simulation analysis on the double-effect absorption refrigeration cucles with parallel or series flow type has been performed. LiBr+LiI+LiCl+LiNO$_3$ solution was selected as the new working fluid. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the possibilities of effective utilization of treated sewage as a cooling water for the absorber and condenser. The other purpose of the present study is to determine the optimum designs and operating conditions based on the operating constraints and the coefficient of performance in the parallel or series flow type. In this study, we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared LiBr solution to evaluate. The absorption refrigeration machine using the new working fluid was obtained better results COP rise and compactness of system by comparison with LiBr solution.

The gas-fired absorption refrigeration system to utilize treated sewage is available for environmental protection and energy conservation. Simulation analysis on the double-effect absorption refrigeration cycles with parallel or series flow type has been performed. The working fluid is Lithium Bromide and water solution. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the possibilities of effective utilization of treated sewage as a cooling water for the absorber and condenser. The efficiency of a couple of cycles has been studied and simulation results show that higher coefficient of performance could be obtained for parallel flow type. The other purpose of the present study is to determine the optimum designs and operating conditions based on the operating constraints and the coefficent of performance in the paralledl flow type.

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.

As a way to use energy effectively, the present study is aimed at investigating the performance characteristics of a Single Effect LiBr/Water Absorption Refrigerator using a low temperature driving heat-source. It was carried out by changing the driving heat-source temperature, the cold water outlet temperature(the refrigeration load), the cooling water inlet temperature, and the weak solution flow rate and this study compares the performance characteristics of refrigerator against the existence and non-existence of the Recirculation of the Weak solution which is used as a method to improve the performance of refrigerator. In case of Recirculation of the weak solution, more improved the Refrigeration Capacity and COP was obtained, and these effects became more larger in the high temperature of driving heat-source and large quantity of solution.

Further improvement of existing $H_{2}O/LiBr$ absorption refrigeration machine is absolutely neces-sary to promote the utilization of gas-cooling system Among various methods to improve the per-formance of the absorption refrigeration machine this research has focused on the use of a new working fluid that has better properties than the existing $H_{2}O/LiBr$ working fluid. In the series of the research, $H_{2}O/LiBr+HO{(CH_{2})}_{3}OH$ system was selected as the most promisable candidate. The absorption refrigeration machine is water-cooled double-effect, $H_{2}O/LiBr+HO{(CH_{2})}_{3}OH$ sys-tem with series flow type. In this study we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared the result with that of LiBr solution to evaluate. Theoptimum designs and operating conditions were determined based on the operating constraints and the coefficient of performance. Results demonstrate that new working fluid subsrantially increases COP by as much as 10% and has a wider working range with 8% higher crystallization limits compared to the conventional $H_{2}O/LiBr$.

Performance extension of the absorption refrigerator with LiBr solution is often faced to operate very close to the crystallization limit. Especially in the development of an air-cooled cycle, the crystallization of working solution in the system is a very difficult problem to overcome. This paper describes the cycle of hot water driven absorption system using a new working absorption solution instead of LiBr solution to improve the efficiency. In this study, we found out the characteristics of new working absorption solution through the cycle simulation and compared LiBr solution to evaluate. The effect of cooling water temperature, weak solution flow rate, hot water temperature and hot water flow rate were also examined. The COP is increased 22% higher in the case of LiBr＋Li1＋LiC1＋LiNO$_3$＋$H_2O$, 2% LiBr＋HO(CH$_2$)$_3$OH＋$H_2O$ than that of LiBr solution for the same operation condition.
