Thermodynamic analysis of a novel air-cooled non-adiabatic absorption refrigeration cycle driven by low grade energy

To improve the performance of the air-cooled type absorption refrigeration, a novel non-adiabatic absorber has been applied in the cycle. Simulation results show that low grade energy is applicable for NH3/NaSCN and NH3/LiNO3 absorption refrigeration system under air cooling condition and relatively high system performance can be obtained.
