Why Should Li2MoO4 Be Added to LiBr Absorption Units?

The Role of Li₂MoO₄ in LiBr Absorption Units

As a leading manufacturer of LiBr absorption chillers and heat pumps, Hope Deepblue emphasizes the significance of the LiBr solution as the primary working fluid in its units. However, to enhance the performance and reliability of the units, a small amount of lithium molybdate (Li₂MoO₄) solution is also incorporated.

Why Add Li₂MoO₄?

  1. Corrosion Inhibition:
    • Li₂MoO₄ acts as a corrosion inhibitor, protecting the internal surfaces of the system, particularly the heat exchange tubes and other metal components, from degradation caused by the highly concentrated LiBr solution.
    • This is especially critical in environments where the temperature and concentration of LiBr are high, which can accelerate corrosion.
  2. Enhanced Stability:
    • The addition of Li₂MoO₄ improves the thermal and chemical stability of the solution, ensuring consistent operation over extended periods.
    • This helps in maintaining the unit's efficiency and prolonging its operational lifespan.
  3. Minimized Maintenance Needs:
    • By reducing corrosion and scaling, Li₂MoO₄ decreases the frequency of maintenance required, contributing to lower operational costs and downtime.
  4. Optimized Heat Transfer:
    • Preventing the formation of corrosion products ensures the heat exchange surfaces remain clean, maximizing heat transfer efficiency.

Hope Deepblue's Expertise

Through years of research and application, Hope Deepblue has perfected the composition and balance of solutions used in its LiBr absorption units. The careful addition of Li₂MoO₄ ensures:

  • Long-term durability of the equipment.
  • Superior performance under various operating conditions.
  • Customer confidence in the reliability of the units.

This expertise reinforces Hope Deepblue's commitment to delivering innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions in the HVAC industry.

Why is the Li2MoO4 solution added? It is to prevent the LiBr solution from corroding the unit. LiBr solution has a corrosive effect on metals, and after a chemical reaction will generate hydrogen gas. Therefore, adding Li2MoO4 as a corrosion inhibitor can effectively inhibit the corrosion of lithium bromide solution on the unit. Through chemical reaction, Li2MoO4 forms a fine protective film on the metal surface, preventing the contact of alkaline solution, oxygen and metal.
