Highly-Efficient Microemulsion-Based Absorption Chillers for HVAC Application
Air conditioning is a necessity to achieve a comfortable, habitable home or office for many places in US. However, vapor compression air conditioners are largely made with chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants, or CFCs, which create problems for a world grappling with climate change. In addition, vapor compression air conditioners are driven by electricity. Cooling and heating represent one-third of building electrical energy consumption in US. An absorption chiller is different to vapor compression chillers or air conditioners because it doesn’t use conventional refrigerants, like CFC. Instead, they may use water as the refrigerant which is mixed with safe and nontoxic absorbents. The research performed in this project advanced the understanding of absorption cooling technology and its application in HVAC. Various technologies were explored to improve the performance of the desorber and absorber components in the absorption chillers.
