Abstract. Experimental investigate the process of evaporation of watersalt solutions on the horizontal heating surface at a temperature of 90 °C. It was revealed that there are differences in the process of evaporation of hydrous solutions of salts forming and not forming water-salt hydrates. The absence of hydrates of salts in hydrous solutions NaCl, CaCl 2 and CsCl made it possible to fix the rate of formation of a solid phase (nucleation) in the volume of the supersaturated solution.
Problem StatementThe efficiency of absorption thermotransformers (ATT) depends directly on the ability of the working fluid to absorb steam. As working fluid for ATT, water-salt solutions are most widely used. The higher their absorption capacity, the better the performance of absorption chillers and heat pumps.Water-salt solutions have the greatest capacity for absorption near the equilibrium crystallization line. In Fig. 1 shows the solubility curves of various salts as a function of temperature. In practice, it is customary to produce work processes in ATT with less concentrated solutions to eliminate the phenomenon of solution crystallization, especially in regenerative heat exchangers. In general, this reduces the efficiency of the desorption and absorption processes, increases the total specific quantity of metal of the design.
