Simulation on single-effect lithium bromide absorption refrigerator

Lithium-bromide absorption refrigerator is an energy-saving refrigerator,which can make use of low quality heat energy.For the application of single-effect lithium-bromide absorption refrigerator in air-conditioning system of ships,this paper developed two simulation programs: one for design computation and the other for simulation of the effect under various operating conditions.The effects of design parameters on liquid flux and heat transfer area and influence of ambient parameters on refrigeration capacity and thermal coefficient were mainly researched.The results agree well with theoretical analyses and can provide a reference for design and opertion of the refrigerators.
