Study on CaCl2-LiCl/H2O as working pair of absorption refrigeration cycle
Absorption refrigeration using low-grade solar heat
geothermal heat or industrial waste heat as driving heat source is an effective way to achieve energy saving and emission reduction. A new working pair of CaCl2-LiCl/H2O
which has an excellent refrigeration absorption characteristic
was studied by measuring its crystallization temperature and vapor pressure with different mass ratios of CaCl2∶LiCl. The results showed that CaCl2-LiCl(2∶1)/H2O with a mass ratio of 2∶1 was the most suitable working pair for an absorption refrigeration system. Compared with LiBr/H2O
under the same refrigeration conditions
the required driving heat source temperature
that is
the required generation temperature for CaCl2-LiCl(2∶1)/H2O was 5.8℃ lower
COP and exergy efficiency for CaCl2-LiCl(2∶1)/H2O were 0.041 and 0.052 higher
respectively. Furthermore
the cost of working pair was greatly reduced. In addition
the crystallization temperature
saturated vapor pressure
density
viscosity
specific heat capacity
specific enthalpy
and corrosivity of CaCl2-LiCl(2∶1)/H2O were measured systematically. Compared with other working pairs using CaCl2 as the main component
CaCl2-LiCl(2∶1)/H2O had a relatively low viscosity and low corrosion rates for carbon steel and copper
so it could meet the requirements of practical engineering application.
