Experimental Performance of a Membrane Desorber with a HO/LiCl Mixture for Absorption Chiller Applications.

For absorption cooling cycles using water as a refrigerant, HO/LiCl mixtures are suitable for replacing conventional HO/LiBr mixtures. In addition, membrane devices can be used to develop compact and lighter absorption systems, and they can operate with HO/LiCl mixtures. The present paper describes an experimental evaluation of a membrane desorber/condenser operating at atmospheric pressure.
