But with the advent of Vapor Compression System, it eventually lost its usage. With a COP of one fifth of a Vapor Compression System, a Vapor Absorption System is now regaining its usage in areas where power sources are a concern. Because it runs on any…show more content…
The heat exchanger is of shell and tube type. Here the partial pressure of Ammonia drops according to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, and its boiling point decreases. (v) Absorber: The hydrogen-ammonia mixture is passed through the absorber where water is admitted from the solution heat exahanger. This water, on absorbing the ammonia returns to the reservoir forming a strong solution while the hydrogen returns to the evaporator. II. THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMIII. THERMODYNAMIC MODEL In this, a model is prepared for analyzing the Diffusion Absorption system. To describe the cycle, two diagrams are needed, one describing the processes of pure ammonia and the other describing the processes of the ammonia solution and the gas mixture. Processes like condensation, subcooling, expansion and evaporation are for pure ammonia and hence are described on the T-s diagram. It can be seen that evaporation takes place at various partial pressures and temperatures. The following processes of the ammonia–water solution and vapor are described on h–x(quality of gas)–T diagram the process at the generator and the bubble…show more content…
14. The expected COP from the below given graphs was calculated to be 0.14 15. Conservation equations specified in reference papers were satisfied, mass flow rate of ammonia was determined to be 1.05 kg / min.  Following graphical representations were followed for selecting the operating conditions of this system: Fig 1: COP v/s Operating Pressure graph Fig 2: Genarator Power v/s COP Fig 3: COP v/s Generator Temp for various Pressure ValuesReferences [1] A.
