Thermodynamic design data for absorption heat-pump systems operating on water-calcium chloride

Abstract

The free choice of operating temperatures in absorption systems is limited by the Gibbs phase-rule and the thermodynamic properties of the working pair. Tables of possible combinations of operating temperatures and concentrations, including flow ratios, Carnot coefficients of performance and enthalpy based cofficients of performance have been presented for water-calcium chloride absorption systems for heating. The interaction of operating temperatures has been illustrated graphically.
