Abstract

In the paper a new LiBr-H₂O sorption system for the whole year use in medium European conditions has been presented. Thermodynamics of the system has been simulated for the steady state conditions, using realistic efficiency factors for each exchanger. The simulation has been done for each characteristic period of the year. Also the heat exchangers surfaces have been estimated using cautiously selected formulas. Finally the economic of the designed system has been calculated as well as the environmental effects. The conclusion is that the use of such a system has to be encouraged by tax system since the environmental effects are very promising, but the investment costs are high.
