This paper presents the experimental heat transfer evaluation during subcooled and saturated boiling of ammonia–lithium nitrate solution in a fusion plate heat exchanger, acting as a vapor generator under operating conditions representative of single-effect absorption machines. The solution flow rate and outlet temperature were modified in the ranges of 0.041–0.083 kg/s and 78–97 °C, respectively. The region where vapor bubbles begin to arise is estimated using a correlation for the wall superheat required for the onset of nucleate boiling. Results show that subcooled boiling is present in the generator. The initial boiling temperature is about 3.1 °C lower than the saturation temperature. The influence of the heat and mass fluxes on the boiling heat transfer coefficient is analyzed. The paper offers a correlation for the Nusselt number, including the subcooled and saturated boiling regions.
