Significantly revised and updated since its first publication in
1996, Absorption Chillers and Heat Pumps, Second Edition discusses
the fundamental physics and major applications of absorption
chillers. While the popularity of absorption chillers began to
dwindle in the United States in the late 1990's, a shift towards
sustainability, green buildings and the use of renewable energy has
brought about a renewed interest in absorption heat pump
technology. In contrast, absorption chillers captured a large
market share in Asia in the same time frame due to relative costs
of gas and electricity. In addition to providing an in-depth
discussion of fundamental concepts related to absorption
refrigeration technology, this book provides detailed modeling of a
broad range of simple and advanced cycles as well as a discussion
of applications. New to the Second Edition: Offers details on the
ground-breaking Vapor Surfactant theory of mass transfer
enhancement Presents extensively revised computer examples based on
the latest version of EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software,
including enhanced consistency and internal documentation Contains
new LiBr/H2O property routines covering a broad range of
temperature and the full range of concentration Utilizes new
NH3/H2O helper functions in EES which significantly enhance ease of
use Adds a new chapter on absorption technology applications Offers
updated absorption fluid transport property information Absorption
Chillers and Heat Pumps, Second Edition provides an updated and
thorough discussion of the physics and applications of absorption
chillers and heat pumps. An in-depth guide to evaluating and
simulating absorption systems, this revised edition provides
significantly increased consistency and clarity in both the text
and the worked examples. The introduction of the vapor surfactant
theory is a major new component of the book. This definitive work
serves as a resource for both the newcomer and seasoned
professional in the field.
