Available Sizes: and 90 Lt's Absorption System and How it Works? 1) Condenser: Just like in the traditional condenser of the vapour compression cycle, the refrigerant enters the condenser at high pressure and temperature and gets condensed. The condenser is of water cooled type. 2) Expansion valve or restriction: When the refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, its pressure and temperature reduces suddenly. This refrigerant (ammonia in this case) then enters the evaporator. 3) Evaporator: The refrigerant at very low pressure and temperature enters the evaporator and produces the cooling effect. In the vapor compression cycle this refrigerant is sucked by the compressor, but in the vapor absorption cycle, this refrigerant flows to the absorber that acts as the suction part of the refrigeration cycle. 4) Absorber: The absorber is a sort of vessel consisting of water that acts as the absorbent, and the previous absorbed refrigerant. Thus the absorber consists of the weak solution of the refrigerant (ammonia in this case) and absorbent (water in this case). When ammonia from the evaporator enters the absorber, it is absorbed by the absorbent due to which the pressure inside the absorber reduces further leading to more flow of the refrigerant from the evaporator to the absorber. At high temperature water absorbs lesser ammonia, hence it is cooled by the external coolant to increase it ammonia absorption capacity. · This part of the article describes how the absorption refrigeration system. The absorption refrigeration system comprises of condenser, expansion valve, evaporator, absorber, pump and generator. The refrigerant leaving the evaporator enter the absorber, where it is absorbed by the absorbent. The strong solution of refrigerant-absorber enters the generator with the help of the pump. The refrigerant then enters the condenser while the remaining weak solution enters back to the absorber and the cycle is repeated. · How Absorption Refrigeration System Works (Continued) The initial flow of the refrigerant from the evaporator to the absorber occurs because the vapor pressure of the refrigerant-absorbent in the absorber is lower than the vapor pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator. The vapor pressure of the refrigerant-absorbent inside the absorbent determines the pressure on low-pressure side of the system and also the vaporizing temperature of the refrigerant inside the evaporator. The vapor pressure of the refrigerant-absorbent solution depends on the nature of the absorbent, its temperature and concentration. When the refrigerant entering in the absorber is absorbed by the absorbent its volume decreases, thus the compression of the refrigerant occurs. Thus absorber acts as the suction part of the compressor. The heat of absorption is also released in the absorber, which is removed by the external coolant. 5) Pump: When the absorbent absorbs the refrigerant strong solution of refrigerant-absorbent (ammonia-water) is formed. This solution is pumped by the pump at high pressure to the generator. Thus pump increases the pressure of the solution to about 10bar. 6) Generator: The refrigerant-ammonia solution in the generator is heated by the external source of heat. This is can be steam, hot water or any other suitable source. Due to heating the temperature of the solution increases. The refrigerant in the solution gets vaporized and it leaves the solution at high pressure. The high pressure and the high temperature refrigerant then enters the condenser, where it is cooled by the coolant, and it then enters the expansion valve and then finally into the evaporator where it produces the cooling effect. This refrigerant is then again absorbed by the weak solution in the absorber. When the vaporized refrigerant leaves the generator weak solution is left in it. This solution enters the pressure reducing valve and then back to the absorber, where it is ready to absorb fresh refrigerant. In this way, the refrigerant keeps on repeating the cycle. The pressure of the refrigerant is increased in the generator, hence it is considered to be equivalent to the compression part of the
