Prototype of the absorption chiller under testing

January 30, 2023January 30, 2023

After investigating numerically, the different GAX (Generator-Absorber heat eXchange) cycles for absorption cooling at -20°C and -40°C from solar heat, a prototype was designed for typical FRIENDSHIP operating temperatures. This prototype was designed to meet at cold demand at -20°C using solely environmentally friendly refrigerants… Read More »Prototype of the absorption chiller under testing

Innovations on the ejector and absorption chillers

May 3, 2022May 25, 2022

SINTEF and CEA are investigating different innovative solutions for absorption cooling at -20°C and -40°C from 100-250°C solar heat, in particular a GAX (Generator-Absorber heat eXchange) cycle based on commercial components, like Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE). This innovative design improves the heat and mass transfers,… Read More »Innovations on the ejector and absorption chillers
