DESIGN & FABRICATION OF AN Experimental Setup of

The document describes the design and fabrication of an experimental vapor absorption refrigeration system. It includes descriptions of the major components of the system - a generator, condenser, evaporator, absorber, solution heat exchanger, capillary tube, strong solution reservoir, and refrigerant reservoir. The goal is to build an experimental setup that students can use to study absorption refrigeration processes and components, as existing college setups only include compression refrigeration systems. An absorption system could utilize low-grade waste heat and be suitable for applications like rural cold storage facilities.

DESIGN & FABRICATION OF AN

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP OF VAPOR

INTRODUCTION
• BACKGROUND : VAPOUR ABSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
(VARS) BELONG TO THE CLASS OF VAPOUR CYCLES.
• REQUIRED INPUT TO ABSORPTION SYSTEMS IS IN THE FORM OF
HEAT.
• THERMAL ENERGY DRIVEN SYSTEMS.
• THESE SYSTEMS RUN ON LOW-GRADE THERMAL ENERGY, THEY
ARE PREFERRED WHEN LOW-GRADE ENERGY SUCH AS WASTE
HEAT OR SOLAR ENERGY IS AVAILABLE.
• MOTIVATION : LOW GRADE ENERGY IS USED, (COP) IS LOW.
• IN OUR COLLEGE THERE ARE MANY EXPERIMENTAL SET UP
CONCERNING COMPRESSION SYSTEM BUT NONE ON ABSORPTION
SYSTEM, SO WE THOUGHT OF MAKING ONE. STUDENTS CAN
PERFORM EXPERIMENTS AND OBSERVE THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN BOTH THE SYSTEMS.
• NEED OF PROJECT:

• IT IS
NOT USED SO OFTEN COMMERCIALLY, BUT IS CONSIDERED IDEAL IN BIG
INDUSTRIES WHERE A HUGE AMOUNT OF HEAT IS BEING WASTED.
• IN RURAL AREAS A VAR SYSTEM CAN BE USED A COLD STORAGE FACILITY,
WHERE LOCALS CAN STORE THERE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE. THIS SYSTEM
PROVES SUCH A SUCCESS IN THESE AREAS BECAUSE OF THEIR LOW COST OF
FUEL. THE INPUT ENERGY CAN BE GENERATED BY BURNING COW DUNG.
• SUCH THINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED IF WE UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM. AN
EXPERIMENTAL SETUP IS REQUIRED TO STUDY THE PROCESSES,
COMPONENTS, AND FOR FUTURE WORK.
