There are some heat sources whose temperature is much higher than the limited generation temperature of conventional single effect absorption refrigeration cycle but lower than that of conventional double effect absorption refrigeration cycle. These heat sources can not be utilized efficiently by prior cycles. To make efficient use of these heat sources, this paper proposed an EAX (Evaporator-Absorber-Exchange) absorption refrigeration cycle. The proposed cycle can make use of the condensing heat of the vapor separated from high temperature generator to make additional refrigeration. Therefore, the COP (Coefficient of Performance) of the proposed cycle is much higher than that of the conventional single effect cycle. Simulation results show that the COP of the EAX cycle can be 40% higher than that of the conventional single effect cycle at some simulated conditions. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
