This book introduces two of the most exciting heat pumping
technologies, the coabsorbent and the thermal recovery (mechanical
vapor) compression, characterized by a high potential in primary
energy savings and environmental protection. New cycles with
potential applications of nontruncated, truncated, hybrid
truncated, and multi-effect coabsorbent types are introduced in
this work. Thermal-to-work recovery compression (TWRC) is the first
of two particular methods explored here, including how superheat is
converted into work, which diminishes the compressor work input. In
the second method, thermal-to-thermal recovery compression (TTRC),
the superheat is converted into useful cooling and/or heating, and
added to the cycle output effect via the coabsorbent technology.
These and other methods of discharge gas superheat recovery are
analyzed for single-, two-, three-, and multi-stage compression
cooling and heating, ammonia and ammonia-water cycles, and the
effectiveness results are given. The author presents
absorption-related topics, including the divided-device method for
mass and heat transfer analysis, and truncation as a unique method
for a better source-task match. Along with advanced gax recovery,
the first and second principles of COP and exergy calculation, the
ideal point approaching (i.p.a.) effect and the two-point theory of
mass and heat transfer, the book also addresses the new wording of
the Laplace equation, the Marangoni effect true explanation, and
the new mass and heat exchangers based on this effect. The work
goes on to explore coabsorbent separate and combined cooling,
heating, and power (CHP) production and advanced water-lithium
bromide cycle air-conditioning, as well as analyzing
high-efficiency ammonia-water heat-driven heating and industrial
low-temperature cooling, in detail. Readers will learn how
coabsorbent technology is based on classic absorption, but is more
general. It is capable of offering effective solutions for all
cooling and heating applications (industry, agriculture, district,
household, etc.), provided that two supplying heat-sink sources
with temperatures outdistanced by a minimum of 12-15C are
available. This book has clear and concise presentation and
illustrates the theory and applications with diagrams, tables, and
flowcharts.
