Title: Absorption cycle apparatus and related method

Abstract

An absorption cycle apparatus including a working fluid is presented. The working fluid includes a metal halide, water and a zwitterion additive, wherein the zwitterion additive includes an amino acid, 2,2′-[(phosphonomethyl)imino]diaceticacid, 3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid, or combinations thereof. A method of controlling crystallization in a working fluid of an absorption cycle apparatus is also presented.
