Applied Energy, 1993, vol. 45, issue 3, 256 pages

Abstract: An exergy analysis, using a numerical simulation of a continuous ammonia-water absorption cycle for the production of ice, is presented. Its performance is studied by considering the effect on the coefficient of performance and the exergy efficiency of varying the most important parameters. The main conclusions are that flat-plate collectors are acceptable as a heat source; the generator, absorber and economiser are the components with larger exergy losses; and the economiser and absorber are the components with larger possibilities for increasing the global performance of the system.
