A standalone, compact, thermally driven ammonia-water absorption chiller designed to
deliver a cooling capacity of 10.5 kW at ambient temperatures greater than 40° C is …

An investigation of direct gas-coupled desorption for small capacity ammonia-water
absorption is presented. Some applications favor or require the use of direct-coupling of the …

The effect of surfactants on vertical gas-liquid flow is experimentally investigated in a 12.7
mm diameter tube at conditions relevant to an ammonia-water bubble absorber. The …

The concept of diabatic distillation is applied to desorption and rectification in an ammonia–
water absorption system. Results of a hydrodynamic investigation of novel components for …

An experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer in novel desorber and rectifier
components based on the diabatic distillation principle is conducted. Heat and mass transfer …

An experimental evaluation of the thermal compressor of an ammonia-water absorption
system is presented. A compact desorber and a rectifier based on diabatic distillation …

A novel control strategy for vapor absorption systems with experimental validation is
presented. Statistical methods are used to integrate a detailed thermodynamic model and …

Heat transfer in microscale geometries offers the advantage of high heat transfer coefficients
and large surface area-to-volume ratios, and therefore, the potential to develop compact …
