DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF VAPOUR ABSORPTION GENERATOR TO INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract

Experimental analysis on vapor absorption generator was conducted. The system uses helical coil type heat exchanger, absorber tank, steam generator. From different refrigerants working pairs Ammonia was used because it costs less, readily available and is environmental friendly. Design of generator was done and the volume chosen is 5 lt. Fabrication of generator was done on a refrigerant canister. Effectiveness of the generator at different inlet temperatures is presented. Inlet temperature of the generator was taken at 80°C and effectiveness was calculated to be 0.725. It is observed that effectiveness of the generator increases with increase in temperature. Corresponding graphs have also been depicted for different inlet temperatures and volume of generator
