بهبود انرژی و اکسرژی داخلی در ترانسفورماتور حرارتی جذبی کاربردی درجه حرارت بالا

In this paper, the design of a triple absorption heat transformer (TAHT) using the working fluids water and lithium bromide is dissected and reassembled using heat exchange network modelling in order to determine the optimum number and locations of internal heat exchange units within the system. It is found that the conventional design of the TAHT does not employ heat exchangers effectively, and that thus by rearranging these units system COP may be increased by 11.7% while exergy destruction within the system (its irreversibility) can be reduced by 21%. Strategically adding an extra one or two heat exchangers increases the COP by 16.4% and 18.8% while decreasing exergy destruction by 28% and 31.5% respectively compared to a conventional TAHT design.
