Abstract: The performance of an advanced triple-pressure level (TPL) single-stage absorption cycle with refrigerant R125 and various organic absorbents were studied. In the developed TPL cycle, a jet ejector of a special design is added at the absorber inlet. The device serves two major functions: it facilitates pressure recovery and improves the mixing process between the weak solution and the refrigerant vapor coming from the evaporator. These effects enhance the absorption process of the refrigerant vapor into the solution drops. To facilitate the design of a jet ejector for absorption machines, a numerical model of simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the liquid and the gas phases in the ejector was developed.
