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.

Role of Membrane Technology in Absorption Heat Pumps: A Comprehensive Review.

The role of heat pumps is linked to the actions of human life. Even though the existing technologies perform well in general, they have still some problems, such as cost, installation area, components size, number of components, noise, etc. To address these issues, membrane technologies have been introduced in both heat and cooling devices.
