A novel hybrid absorption-compression refrigeration cycle

摘要: Abstract When used in traditional pool-boiling type refrigeration cycles, non-azeotropic mixed refrigerants tend to result a reduced efficiency compared pure refrigerants. This results from the composition shift effect, which distributes mixture components: concentrating more volatile component high pressure part of cycle, and less low part. The obvious effect this is increase compression ratio relative single component. article investigates way manipulating change refrigerant mixture, using two components similar volatility, order reduce ratio. Counter-current vapour–liquid contact “refrigeration column”, combined with distillation column. cycle able exploit heat sources below 100°C as input column designer optimise consumption compressor power input.
