Heat sources for the NH3 Absorption Refrigeration Systems
Minimum Temperature of Driving Energy:
To achieve a certain temperature for the cold (evaporation temperature)
a minimum temperature of the driving energy (steam, hot water or other
hot gases or liquids) is required. This temperature is dependent on the
desired evaporation temperature and the temperature for the cooling water
(for the absorber and condenser). The graphic below shows this temperature
for steam or hot water as a driving energy.
The following diagram is indicative only. It indicates the relation between the minimum required temperature of the driving energy and the evaporation temperature for different cooling water temperatures.
