Abstract

An absorption chiller-heater using only a natural refrigerant hardly causes any environmental pollution. In an absorption chiller-heater, the performance of its high-temperature generator, which uses exhaust gases, is essential to achieving superior system performance. To investigate the performance of such a high-temperature generator, a laboratory-scale high-temperature generator working with exhaust gases was designed and tested. Changes in the performance of the high-temperature generator as a function of inlet conditions of the absorbing solution, such as air inlet temperature and mass flow, were investigated. It was observed that when the air mass flow rate ratio was increased from 80% to 120%, the heat capacity was increased by 30%, 33%, 34%, and 37%, respectively. Additionally, when the air inlet temperature was elevated from $170^{\circ}C$ to $210^{\circ}C$ for absorption solution concentrations of 56%, 55%, 545, and 53%, the heat capacity increased by 140%, 160%, 220%, and 224%, respectively.

흡수식 냉온수기는 자연에 있는 냉매를 사용함으로 인해 환경오염이 매우 적어 친환경적이다. 흡수식 냉온수기에서 고효율의 배기가스용 고온재생기는 높은 시스템 성능을 얻기 위한 중요한 요소중에 하나이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 운전조건에 따른 흡수식 냉온수기의 배기가스용 고온재생기의 성능을 파악하기 위해 실험장치를 제작하고 실험을 실시하였다. 배기가스용 고온재생기에서 흡수액의 입구상태는 성능변화에 매우 큰 영향을 줌으로 여러 가지 흡수액 농도 조건에서 공기측 입구온도와 질량유량을 변화시켜가면서 고온재생기의 성능을 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 공기측 질량유량비가 80%에서 120%로 증가할 때 흡수액 농도가 56%, 55%, 54%, 53%에서의 열교환량은 각각 30%, 33%, 34%, 37% 정도 증가하였다. 또한 고온재생기의 흡수액 입구농도가 56%, 55%, 54%, 53% 일 때 공기측 입구온도가 $170^{\circ}C$에서 $210^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 고온재생기의 열교환량은 각각 140%, 160%, 220%, 224% 정도 증가하였다.
