Single-Effect Water/Lithium Bromide Systems

The objective of this chapter is to describe the operating characteristics of single-effect water/lithium bromide absorption chiller/heat pump systems (Herold and Radermacher 1989; Kühn et al. 2005; Herold 2007; ASHRAE 2010). That objective is addressed by examination of several examples with alternative design features and characteristics. The examples are presented as solutions of computer models of the respective cycle configurations. The computer models associated with the examples are provided on this book’s website ( https://www.fchart.com/ees/books.php ). The software Engineering Equation Solver (EES) is introduced in Appendix A, an overview of cycle modeling is provided in Appendix B, and more details about the cycle models used in this chapter is provided in Appendix C.
