摘要
This paper deals with the modeling, thermodynamic analysis and comparison of irreversibility in two configurations of the double generator absorption chiller. First a computer simulation model is developed for each configuration on the basis of mass and energy balances. Simulation results were then used to analyse the entropy generation and irreversibility (or exergy destruction) of each component. It is found that the parallel flow configuration is more powerful than the serie flow configuration. Exergy losses in the parallel flow configuration are lower than that of the serie flow. The results indicate that the absorber and the solution heat exchangers have the most potential to improve the chiller energy efficiency. Also they indicate that focusing on irreversibility is more direct way of analysing the potential for improving the efficiency of ammonia-water absorption chiller.
