AT-90-30-1 -- Research Activities on Absorption Systems for Heating, Cooling and Industrial Use PDF

Gives an overview of the research activities on absorption systems in the refrigeration and air conditioning laboratory at the Delft University of Technology. The research projects are - an absorption heat pump for domestic heating, fundamental research on heat and mass transfer in absorbers, a solar-driven absorption refrigeration machine, an absorption heat transformer for upgrading industrial waste heat and a hybrid heat pump system. A test plant has been built for each of these projects and the experimental results used to validate the simulation programs in order to carry out optimisation.
