  • @ptoktedia9011
    @ptoktedia9011 9 дней назад

    This is by far the ONLY one i can understand. Thank you so much for explaining the basics. I've stuck in how water refrigerant (of the chiller) creates the cooling effect. The only missing part was vacuum and water boiling point's correlation, you explained that and saved my day almost instantly.

      The explanation is wrong:
      Hot water/Steam is dumping heat into the system.
      Chilled Water is also dumping heat into the system.

    hey, the chilled water flow direction icon seems reversed.. and I think it will be easier to understand if you put Operating Pressure and Temperature (or T & P for each flow) so we know whether the heat transfers are feasible.. Thank you anyway for making such a great educational video..

    • @YellowPinkie
      @YellowPinkie 3 года назад +4

      I also think a typical kWh energy transfer or %age energy transfer would be useful; the energy in the waste heat, how much ends up being rejected in the cooling tower, how much gets returned as chilled water. Great video to help a sparky understand the 'magic' of an absorption chiller.

  • @VinOng-er6ks
    @VinOng-er6ks Год назад +3

    The secret lies with partial pressure. As the Li-Br absorbs H2O molecules, it decreases the partial pressure of water inside the evaporator which causes the partial vacuum and hence the cooling effect. This is almost similar to the expansion valves of a vapor-compression systems.

    I liked this video a lot, it helped explain things in an accessible way.
    Just curious if you can clarify two questions I have:
    The chilled water line comes in at about 12°c that's already quite cold. How does it get down to 12 if the area being cooled is hot, say 35°?
    2. How does the cooling tower work? Is it just a pipe that the warm water runs through to reach ambient temperature? Doesn't that contribute to heating the area?

    Great explanation, a real human voice and no distracting muzak in the background.
    There is no compressor, but compared to a classic vapor-compression A/C, how much energy does the pumps and control system use? This assuming the heat source is "free", just the system itself. Thank you.

    • @francescogelio4451
      @francescogelio4451 2 года назад +1

      It depends on the machine, bin my experience if the electric consumption of compressor chiller is like 30% of the entire cooling energy production with and assorber this electric energy is like 1%/2%. However with the assorber you spend more water and so more energy in the cooling tower, but in the end less than a compression chiller do.

    It would become more useful if you added temperatures and pressures. I see someone else already asked you to change the flow direction of the chilled water...but since it isn't clear to me if purple is cooler than blue, it's hard to tell if the flow direction is wrong, or the arrow is wrong.

    not a magnetic attraction to lithium bromide but when water vapor produced in the evaporator area so there is more pressure than the absorber by pressure difference water vapor traveled to absorber hence lithium bromide absorb the water vapor.. BTW nice teaching thanks

    @holmanyusedciprianoliveros8935 6 лет назад +1

    Hello, you are excellent, you have helped me a lot, however I have the following doubts. If the refrigerant after being evaporated, it passes to the absorber, which must receive the heat of the refrigerant, but this absorber must be at a temperature controlled both in the absorption and in the condensation, fundamentally lower than that of the coming refrigerant.
    1. How do I keep this temperature controlled? Is the same as in previous chiller videos, with a thermal expansion valve?
    2. What temperature difference should I have between the evaporator return water and the absorber to make the process work?
    3. What happens to the steam that heats the generator, this goes out to the environment by a fireplace? Or by a duct?
    Thanks a lot.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  6 лет назад +4

      1. vary the amount of heat flowing into the chiller with a valve. more heat you put in, more cooling you get out
      2. the temperature depends on the heat source and the manufacture, check design data from supplier
      3. it condenses and returns via condensate line, or you can discharge to atmosphere but wasteful of energy

  • @C05Mik

    Great video thanks !
    I'm desperately trying to find an answer to my question;
    How can possibly a double-effect absorption heat pump reach coefficients of performance (COP) higher than 1 ?
    I don't understand how a heat input (let's say waste heat) can result in a greater amount of heat removed (numerator of COP) than the said input (denominator of COP)... Someone to help here ? Thanks in advance !

    • @rangerdoc1029
      @rangerdoc1029 3 года назад

      Because you are transferring heat, not creating it. Using a certain amount of btu, let's say 1, you can drive a process which can move more btu, like 2 or even 3 from outside to inside.

  • @siggyincr7447
    @siggyincr7447 Год назад

    I've been toying with the idea of a solar powered air conditioning unit and came across the ammonia/water based systems and the thought of working with concentrated ammonia is kind of scary. This seems to be a far safer chemistry to do this with.
    Overall this was a great intro to the way it works. Though there are a couple questions that spring to mind. How is the vacuum pulled? Is a separate vacuum pump used? Does the pump feeding the generator manage to do so? Or, as someone in the comments below stated, the cooled concentrated lithium bromide solution is so hygrophilic that is will create the low pressure by pulling water vapor into the solution. Which, if true, would simplify things immensely.
    Also, I'm assuming the water collection tray in the evaporator will need some sort of purge mechanism to occasionally dump the contents as otherwise over time it would inevitably start to accumulate the salt.

      Seen our new video on HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK in detail ruclips.net/video/Yxt72aDjFgY/видео.html

    Very nice video and easily understandable. I have a question, Can we use Gas Turbine exhaust gases instead of Steam or hot water to transfer thermal energy to water+Lithium bromide mixture. Thanks

      kamran baloch can't see why not, it just needs heat. The density will be lower but the flow rate it high

      Thanks for your reply. I am currently involved in a project where we have Gas Turbine with around 69,000 kg/h of exhaust gases at 544°C releasing to atmosphere, we need to utilize the thermal energy of these gases by installing an absorption chiller.

      Might need to push it through a plate heat exchanger, sounds great
