Effect of irreversibility on COP of double effect steam absorption chillers
Major irreversibility's in the absorption chillers are due to heat transfer between the absorption cycles and the environment. This effect also occurs for LiBr/H2O steam absorption chillers. This study investigated the effect of external heat transfer processes on LiBr/H2O steam absorption chil...
