LiBr Absorption Heat Pump
LiBr absorption heat pump is one kind of OEM absorption heat pump device driven by high grade heat sources, such as steam, HT hot water, natural gas, etc. to recover heat from LT heat sources, such as waste hot water, for the purpose of producing hot water for district heating and industrial process.
In the waste heat recovery process, the refrigerant water in evaporator absorbs heat from the waste hot water and evaporates in refrigerant vapor which enters the absorber. After absorbing the refrigerant vapor, the concentrated solution in absorber becomes diluted solution and releases the absorbed heat, which in turns heats the hot water as a heating medium to a temperature required for heating effect. Meanwhile, the diluted solution is delivered to generator by solution pump, where the diluted solution is heated by driven steam (or HT hot water) turns into concentrated solution and delivered back to absorber. The concentration process generates refrigerant vapor which enters the condenser where it is used to heat the hot water to the required temperature. Meanwhile, the refrigerant vapor condenses into refrigerant water, which enters evaporator and absorbs the heat from waste hot water. Repeating of this cycle by OEM absorption heat pump constitutes a continuous heating process.
For the HT heat source, dual effect LiBr absorption heat pump can be adopted.
The refrigerant water in evaporator absorbs heat from the waste hot water and evaporates in refrigerant vapor which enters the absorber. After absorbing the refrigerant vapor, the concentrated solution in absorber becomes diluted solution and releases the absorbed heat, which in turns heats the hot water as a heating medium to a temperature required for heating effect. Meanwhile, the diluted solution is delivered by solution pump via LT heat exchanger, Ht heat exchanger to HTG, where it’s heated by heat source, releases refrigerant vapor and make solution concentrates to intermediate solution.
After releasing heat in HT heat exchanger, the intermediate solution enters LTG, where it is heated by HT refrigerant vapor from HTG, releases refrigerant vapor and concentrates in concentrated solution.
After the HT refrigerant vapor generated in HTG heats the intermediate solution in LTG, it becomes condensate water, which enters condenser together with the refrigerant vapor generated in LTG, and heats the hot water to a required temperature. At this point, both HT and LT refrigerant vapor condense into water.
After refrigerant water entering evaporator via throttle to absorb the heat from waste heat from waste hot water, it becomes refrigerant vapor entering absorber. The concentrated solution in LTG returns to absorber via LT heat exchanger to absorb refrigerant vapor and condenses into water.
Repeating of this cycle by OEM absorption heat pump constitutes a continuous heating process.
Normally, Class II LiBr absorption heat pump is one kind of LT waste heat-driven device, which absorbs heat from waste hot water to generate hot water with a higher temperature than driven waste hot water. The most typical feature for this kind heat pump is that it can generate hot water with a higher temperature than waste hot water without other heat sources. In this condition, waste hot water is also the heat source. This is why Class II LiBrabsorption heat pump is known as temperature boosting heat pump.
The waste hot water enters generator and evaporator in series or in parallel way. The refrigerant water absorbs the heat from waste hot water in evaporator, then it evaporates into refrigerant vapor and enters absorber. The concentrated solution in absorber becomes diluted solution and releases heat after absorbing the refrigerant vapor. The absorbed heat heats the hot water to the required temperature.
On the other hand, the diluted solution enters generator after heat exchanging with the concentrated solution via heat exchanger and returns to generator, where it is heated by the waste hot water and concentrated into concentrated solution, then delivered to absorber. The refrigerant vapor produced in generator is delivered to condenser, where it is condensed into water by the low temperature cooling water and delivered to evaporator by refrigerant pump.
Repeating of this cycle by OEM absorption heat pump constitutes a continuous heating process.
