Research on LiBr Absorption Refrigeration System Using Automotive Exhausted Heat

Abstract

Based on the structure and characteristic of automotive refrigeration system and engine circulation cooling water system and exhausted waste heat system, combing the working principle of lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system, the authors used the automotive exhaust pipe and cooling water tank improved as the generator of the lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system, which might realize the objective using the lithium bromide absorption hot-cold water unit to replace the automobile air conditioning refrigeration and heating system and the automobile engine cooling system. The methods of the thermodynamics, the heat transfer, the hydrodynamics are used to do the computation of the thermodynamic and the heat transfer area of the lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system. The result shows that it makes good use of exhausted heat of engine circulation cooling water and exhausted waste and reduces the consumption of oil. And structure is simple and compact for small heat transfer area of the automotive exhaust pipe and cooling water tank improved.
