The experimental characterization of a lithium bromide–water absorption chiller and the development of a calibrated model

Exergetic and energetic comparison of LiCl-H 2 O and LiBr-H 2 O working pairs in a solar absorption cooling system

“…Furthermore, they stated that the maximum accepted temperature of the cooling medium has not to exceed 40°C. Beausoleil-Morrison et al [16] studied a Small-scale solar air conditioning system operating with LiCl-H 2 O and proved that when the generator temperature is ranged from 71°C to 93°C, the COP varies from 0.53 to 0.83.…”

Study of the Structure and Infrared Spectra of LiF, LiCl and LiBr Using Density Functional Theory (DFT)

“…Other applications of lithium chloride include fluxes for brazing aluminum [21], catalysts for organic oxidation reactions [22], separation of RNA in biological systems [23], medical treatments for bipolar disorder [24], and molten salt mixtures [25,26]. Lithium bromide solutions are used mainly in air cooling systems' absorption chillers, where water is the refrigerant and a solution of LiBr acts as the absorbent [27,28]. Chillers of this kind can provide useful room cooling using waste heat or renewable energy [29,30].…”

Thermo‐economic optimization and comparison study of LiBr‐H 2 O and LiCl‐H 2 O working pair in absorption cooling systems based on genetic algorithm

“…The authors concluded that errors in results due to neglecting the chemical availability of LiBr‐H 2 O solutions are not noticeable. Several authors developed a prototype of LiBr‐H 2 O absorption cooling devices all over the world and studied it both experimentally and numerically 22‐25 . An absorption chiller has an option to design in variable effect configurations, 26,27 where it can be to shift from a single‐effect to a variable effect cycle and vice‐versa.…”

“…Several authors developed a prototype of LiBr-H 2 O absorption cooling devices all over the world and studied it both experimentally and numerically. [22][23][24][25] An absorption chiller has an option to design in variable effect configurations, 26,27 where it can be to shift from a single-effect to a variable effect cycle and vice-versa. Khaliq and Kumar 28 examined a system operating on LiBr-H 2 O solutions to carry out the energy and availability analyses for a double-effect VACS.…”
