ET 480 Electrically Heated Absorption Refrigeration Unit Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
Unlike mechanically driven compression refrigeration systems, absorption systems use thermal energy directly. There are three circuits in the system: a water circuit, an ammonia circuit and a hydrogen circuit. The system comprises a generator, a condenser, an evaporator with a downstream gas heat exchanger, an absorber and a liquid heat exchanger. A cooling load can be simulated at the evaporator using an electrical heater.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
