ASHRAE`s new application guide for absorption cooling/refrigeration using recovered heat
- Dorgan Associates, Inc., Madison, WI (United States)
ASHRAE has a new publication, Application Guide for Absorption Cooling/Refrigeration Using Recovered Heat. This guide is a comprehensive reference manual for the application of indirect-fired absorption machines. An indirect-fired absorption machine uses heat recovered from another process or heat cycle machine versus a direct-fired absorption machine, which uses a primary fuel source. The Guide is designed to help engineers, owners, developers, and marketing personnel to become familiar with the requirements of an absorption system, evaluate indirect-fired absorption machines for specific requirements, evaluate the potential of available recovered heat sources, select the most economical system, and understand both lithium bromide (LiBr) and ammonia absorption machines. The Guide provides information on the application and economics of absorption machines. Detailed design of an absorption system is covered in other publications, which are listed in the Guide. The Guide introduces absorption technology through comparison with and using the terminology of vapor-compression technology. This information is then expanded to enable the reader to apply absorption technology to many situations where recovered heat is available.
