Özet

An industrial application of the single stage and double absorption heat transformer (AHT) systems using water-lithium bromide solutions with water as the refrigerant was analyzed. First, a basic single stage AHT system was described, the operating sequence was explained and thermodynamic system analysis was presented. Next, an application of the single stage AHT system to an industrial company was analyzed. A computer code was prepared to determine the effect of different parameters on the AHT system performance and the results were presented in graphical form. Additionally, the series and parallel double absorption AHT systems were introduced, the operating sequences were explained and thermodynamic system analysis was included. All results were presented in tabular form for comparison. It is concluded that about 50% of the waste heat can be utilized and the hot process water and vapor could be produced by applying single stage and double AHT systems, respectively. The parallel double AHT system could generate more vapor than the series double AHT system. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
