Absorption Refrigeration

[eduardogm1986]

Hello. Can anybody recommend me a book or something about the absorption refrigeration cycle that uses hydrogen, water and ammonia? i am looking for information on how to design and calculate the diferent diameters on each section, and the proportion of the solution in relation with the quantity of heat that i have to sustract.

I found some information on the ASHRAE handbook, but I hope I can find something with a litle more technical data.

I wish someone can help me.

Thank you.

Hydrogen??? I have not heard of such a system with hydrogen. I guess that I have a lot to learn.

It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article:

You might consider looking at the various patents that have been awarded over the last century, as well as the various articles on the web:

Thanks for the answer, but as i wrote before, i was looking for a book with a little more equations and design considerations rather than experiences or an explanation of the cycle.

The Lithium-Bromide absorption refrigerator is covered thoroughly on the ASHRAE handbook, while the Hydrogen-Ammonia-Water just mentioned. That's why I thought maybe someone could know of a book with a little more technical information.

OK, after reading the wikipedia article from IRStuff. I decided to check my Perry Chem. Eng. Handbook (albeit old ie 4th edition)and noted a good reference in chapter 12, pg10 thru 21.
From that reference you should be able to develop your equations and pay particular attention to the purpose of Hydrogen in this binary gas.
