Seminar 15 -- Exploiting the Advances in Absorption Fundamentals for Transformative Impact

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

In this session, three different research facets towards improving performance and efficiency of absorption cooling technologies are evaluated. First author presents method of utilizing absorption cooling system assisted with a vapor compression system to improve system performance at high ambient temperatures. Second author deals with the application and evaluation of micro-channel heat exchangers in absorbers. Finally, the last authors present alternative fluids for absorbers to improve system resistance to crystallization issues.
