A numerical study has been carried out to find out the optimal design condition of a solar absorption cooling system. The system was composed of solar collectors and an absorption chiller with LiBr/water The System performance with commercial single effect(SE) cycle and a new single effect/double lift(SE/DL) cycle utilizing low temperature hot water was calculated and compared. It was found that the required solar collector area grew exponentially as the overall heat loss coefficient of solar collectors increased. For instance, the required area for cooling capacity of 1 USRT was $17m^2$ if heat loss coefficient was 4 W/$m^2\;cdot\;K$. If heat loss coefficient was doubled($8\;W/m^2\;cdot\;$K), the required collector area was increased by 6 times($100m^2$) .It was also found that the SE-cycle as the heat loss coefficient of solar collectors increased. Generally, a SE/DL-cycle seems to be more advantageous than a SE-cycle if loss coefficient of solar collector is greater than 4 W/$m^2\;cdot\;K$.

The characteristics of hybrid type absorption chiller are studied numerically to use a waste hot water effectively. In the case of the full load, the concentration and temperature of LiBr solution are increase about $11^{\circ}C$, 1.3% respectively at the single effect generator by hot water. As a result, the heat of the high temperature generator are decrease, so the energy can be saved. As the partial load decreased the consumption ratio of fuels are decreased and the reduction ratio of fuels are increased. The variation of COP with the inlet temperature of hot water is higher than that of the flow rate of hot water. The effect of mean temperature difference with solution and hot water of the generator are higher that of flow rate of hot water, it can effect on COP which is sensitive to heat of generator.

이중효용 흡수냉동기의 고효율화 방안과 당사(한국 캐리어)에서 개발한 흡수식 냉동기를 소개 하고자 한다. 흡수냉동기는 1777년 영국의 NAIRNE에 의해 흡수냉동기 이론을 발표한 이후 1945년 미국 CARRIER사가 냉매로서 물, 흡수제로서 리튬브로마이드(LiBr)를 이용한 일중 효용 흡수냉동기가 세계 최초로 상용화되면서 공조용 및 산업용 냉방기기로서 보급되기 시작하였다. 이러한 흡수식 기술은 일본에서 이중효용 흡수냉동기 및 냉온수기를 개발하면서 공조용 및 산업용 냉. 난방기기로서 널리 보급되기 시작하였으며, 최근에는 고 효율 이중효용 흡수냉동기 및 냉온수기(COP 1.2-l.3)를 개발하여 제작. 판매하고 있으며 또한 삼중효용 흡수냉온수기(COP 1.6)를 개발하고 있다. 그리고 세계 흡수냉동기 시장은 일본 및 중국을 중심으로 고 효율 흡수냉동기 시장으로 재편되고 있다. 그러나, 우리나라에는 아직 일본기술에 의존한 표준 COP 이중효용 흡수냉동기 및 냉온수기(COP 1.01)를 제작 판매하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 이중효용 흡수냉동기의 고효율화 방안과 당사(한국 캐리어)에서 개발한 흡수식 냉동기를 소개하고자 한다.

Dynamic behavior of Libr-water absorption system using low-temperature hot water was investigated numerically. Thermal-hydraulic model of single-effect/double-lift 100 RT chiller was developed by applying transient conservation equations of total mass, Libr mass, energy and momentum to each component. Transient variations of system properties and transport variables were analysed during start-up operation. Numerical analysis were performed to quantify the effects of bulk concentration and part-load operation on the system performance in terms of cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, and time constant of system. For an absorption chiller considered in the present study, optimum bulk concentration was found to exist, which resulted in the minimum time constant with stable cooling capacity. COP and time constant increased as the load decreased down to 40%, below which the time constant increased abruptly and COP decreased as the load decreased further.

Recently, development efforts of triple-effect absorption chiller have been increased in order to improve the efficiency of double-effect absorption chiller. However, triple-effect absorption chiller has some disadvantages, including high corrosion characteristic of LiBr solution at high temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Moreover, it is necessary to develop new components for operation under high pressure of 2 bars even though COP is increased to 1.6 or 1.7. The objective of this study was to introduce a new system by combining double effect absorption chiller with single effect absorption chiller with multi-generators using bypass flow of LiBr dilute solution to $3^{rd}$ generator to overcome the disadvantages of triple-effect chiller and improve energy efficiency. Results indicate that the new absorption cycle had a much higher efficiency than double-effect chiller system, showing significant improvement when bypass solution flow rate of 25% was applied to the $3^{rd}$ generator using the main dilute solution of the absorber. The COP of the new chiller system was found to be 1.438, which was 21.7% higher than that (1.18) of the present double-effect system. The COP was decreased when solution by-pass rate to the $3^{rd}$ generator was increased. In addition, lower cooling water temperature caused higher COP. Therefore, the multi-generator system with by-pass solution might be an excellent chiller alternative to triple-effect absorption chiller with higher efficiency.
