Thermodynamic and Exergy Analysis of an Absorption Cooling System for Libr-H2O Fluid Couple

Absorption cooling systems are used for cooling and heating, saving energy as well as environmental protection. Although the system is more complex than the other cooling systems and the cooling efficiency coefficient is smaller, it is the most suitable system for evaluating waste and renewable energies. Although compression is done by compressor in other systems, in absorptive systems this process is done with a system consisting of absorber and generator. In this study, an energy and exergy analysis of an absorbent refrigeration system was made for the LiBr-H2O fluid couple. The analysis was carried out using a mathematical model developed in the Matlab program. The Performance Coefficient (STK) and Exergy loss of the system were investigated at different generator, evaporator and absorber temperatures. The results of the study showed that loss of exergy was reduced by decreasing Tg, Te and increasing Tabs temperatures, and the loss of exergy in most of the operating conditions of the generator exhibited the highest rate
