Abstract

An improved system of the new combined single stage absorption cycle operated with NH3/H2O as working fluid was performed. In order to enhance performance the cycle a new configuration of absorption system was utilized. The performances of two configurations of the combined absorption cycle were compared; a) with common solution heat exchanger and b) divided the streamline of solution heat exchanger to recover the internal heat. Based on the analysis, it has been shown that the second configuration a significant reduction of the required generator and absorber loads by about 20% and 17% respectively, with increased coefficient of performance (COP) about 12 % compared to the first configuration. This improvement in the overall COP is found due to improve energy utilization efficiency significantly.
