Selecting refrigerant-absorbent fluid systems for solar energy utilization. [LiBr--LiSCN--H/sub 2/O combination]

Conference · · ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7253700
Current absorption cooling systems are of only limited value to present-day solar-powered cooling applications in the residential and commercial markets. To increase their potential, operational modifications have been suggested for the near term and cycle and design modifications for the future. A new and improved absorption fluid system that is fully compatible with present and future solar-powered cooling requirements is presented. This system, the LiBr--LiSCN--H/sub 2/O combination, also has been tested in a LiBr--H/sub 2/O unit (modified to simulate air cooling of the absorber and condenser) and has been found satisfactory. Some development work, however, is required before commercialization.
