Solid absorbents for solar powered refrigeration systems

Vapor pressure data are reported for solid absorbents commonly employed in solar refrigeration systems. Solubility characteristics and other data are given for lithium bromide-water, calcium chloride-ammonia, lithium nitrate-ammonia, and other absorbents. The combinations of calcium chloride-ammonia...

Description
Summary:Vapor pressure data are reported for solid absorbents commonly employed in solar refrigeration systems. Solubility characteristics and other data are given for lithium bromide-water, calcium chloride-ammonia, lithium nitrate-ammonia, and other absorbents. The combinations of calcium chloride-ammonia and lithium nitrate-ammonia have large negative deviations from raoult's law and high solubility characteristics. This makes them suitable for refrigeration and air conditioning requirements in tropical conditions. ( 3 graphs, 9 references, 3 tables, )
