    General

    This component serves to model an absorber in an absorption refrigeration system. An ammonia / water mixture or a water / lithium bromide mixture can be used as working fluid. The gaseous cooling agent  coming from the evaporator is absorbed by the solution low in cooling agent. The heat released in the process is displayed on a logic outlet.

     

    This component includes only a global balancing of operations in the absorber. There is no difference between design and part load calculation. The exit temperature is to be specified like the component 5 (steam generators) and component 21 (firing). The amount of heat that is extracted from the liquid results from the energy balance.


     

     

    User Input Values

    T2

    Outlet temperature

     

    Generally, all inputs that are visible are required. But, often default values are provided.

    For more information on design vs. off-design and nominal values see General\Accept Nominal values

     

    Result values 

     

    RCIRC

    Circulation ratio: Ratio of the circulating liquid (line 1) to the absorbed gas (line 3)

    M1 + M3 - M2 = 0                                              

    M4 = 1 (Dummy value)                                        

    P1 - P2  = 0                                                        

    P1 - P3  = 0                                                         

    P4 = 0.01 (Dummy value)                                  

    H2 = f(P2,T2)                                                      

    M4 * H4 + M2 * H2 - M1 * H1 - M3 * H3 = 0
