Re: [TRNSYS-users] absorption refrigerator

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Mayank,
  Type107 in the standard TRNSYS library is a generic absorption chiller model. It takes a few external data files that contain "typical" manufacturer's performance such as how the chiller's capacity and input energy change with varying inlet conditions. In actual practice, I think getting ahold of realistic data is very hard. Manufacturers either don't have it or don't want to give it out. The data files that are provided with Type107 are for a much larger machine than would be appropriate for a residential scale. I would highly recommend finding a manufacturer who has a piece of equipment in the size range that you are looking at so that you can work with them using their data.

  I am not sure how you are planning to model the refrigerator itself. You might have some luck using one of the lumped thermal capacitance models such as Type59. Alternatively, there is an actual refrigerator model in the TESS Loads and Structures Library (v17).
Kind regards,
 David

Dear all,

I want to simulate a absorption refrigerator using heat of solar energy. Is it possible to make a absorption refrigerator in TRNSYS because I need it to compare domestic refrigeration system with domestic air conditioning  system of absorption type.

Thank you all for your support in advance.
