Mass and heat transfer in reflux condensers of absorption heat pumps
Abstract
An equation to calculate horizontal reflux condensers was deduced. It makes mass and heat transfer computable depending on known numerical values of the process variables. The equation is demonstrated by experiments with two absorption heat pumps working with ammonia water solution. Parameter studies are made with a computer program to show the different dependences and to guarantee an efficient construction. The program is extended to allow the computation of other than nominal conditions. Computation and test results show good agreement.
