Working Principle and Flow Diagram

Working Principle

Normally, Class II CE Certification Libr Absorption Heat Pump is one kind of LT waste heat-driven device, which absorbs heat from waste hot water to generate hot water with a higher temperature than driven waste hot water. The most typical feature for this kind heat pump is that it can generate hot water with a higher temperature than waste hot water without other heat sources. In this condition, waste hot water is also the heat source. This is why Class II CE Certification Libr Absorption Heat Pump is known as temperature boosting heat pump.

The waste hot water enters generator and evaporator in series or in parallel way. The refrigerant water absorbs the heat from waste hot water in evaporator, then it evaporates into refrigerant vapor and enters absorber. The concentrated solution in absorber becomes diluted solution and releases heat after absorbing the refrigerant vapor. The absorbed heat heats the hot water to the required temperature.

On the other hand, the diluted solution enters generator after heat exchanging with the concentrated solution via heat exchanger and returns to generator, where it is heated by the waste hot water and concentrated into concentrated solution, then delivered to absorber. The refrigerant vapor produced in generator is
delivered to condenser, where it is condensed into water by the low temperature cooling water and delivered
to evaporator by refrigerant pump.

Repeating of this cycle constitutes a continuous heating process.

Main Components and Functions

1.Generator
Generation Function: The generator is the power source of the heat pump. The Driven heat source enters the generator and heats the diluted LiBr solution. Water in the diluted solution evaporates in the form of refrigerant steam and enters the condenser. Meanwhile, the diluted solution concentrates into a concentrated solution.
Featuring a shell-and-tube structure, the generator comprises the heat transfer tube, tube sheet, support plate, shell, steam box, water chamber and baffle plate. As the highest-pressure vessel inside the heat pump system, the generator has an internal vacuum approximate to zero (a micro negative-pressure).

2. Condenser
Condenser Function: The condenser is a heat generation unit. refrigerant steam from the generator enters the condenser and heats the DHW to a higher temperature. Then the heating effect is achieved. After refrigerant steam heats the DHW, it condenses in the form of refrigerant steam and enters the evaporator.
Featuring a shell-and-tube structure, the condenser comprises the heat transfer tube, tube sheet, support plate, shell, water storage tank and water chamber. Normally, the condenser and the generator are interconnected directly by pipes, so they have basically the same pressure.

3. Evaporator
Evaporator Function: The evaporator is a waste heat recovery unit. Refrigerant water from the condenser evaporates from the surface of the heat transfer tube, taking away the heat of and cools down the CHW inside the tube. Thus waste heat is recovered. refrigerant steam evaporating from the surface of the heat transfer tube enters the absorber.
Featuring a shell-and-tube structure, the evaporator comprises the heat transfer tube, tube sheet, support plate, shell, baffle plate, drip tray, sprinkler and water chamber. The working pressure of the evaporator is around 1/10 of the generator pressure.

4. Absorber
Absorber Function: The absorber is a heat generation unit. Refrigerant steam from the evaporator enters the absorber, where it is absorbed by the concentrated solution. The concentrated solution turns into a diluted solution, which is pump delivered into the next cycle. While the refrigerant steam is being absorbed by the concentrated solution, huge quantities of heat absorbed are produced and heat the DHW to a higher temperature. Thus the heating effect is achieved.
Featuring a shell-and-tube structure, the absorber comprises the heat transfer tube, tube sheet, support plate, shell, purging pipe, sprayer and water chamber. The absorber is the lowest-pressure vessel inside the heat pump system and is under the greatest impact from non-condensable air.

5. Heat Exchanger
Heat Exchanger Function: The heat exchanger is a waste heat recovery unit used to recover the heat in the LiBr solution. Heat in the concentrated solution is transferred by the heat exchanger to the diluted solution for thermal efficiency improvement.
Featuring a plate structure, the heat exchanger has a high thermal efficiency and a notable energy saving effect.

6. Automatic Air Purge System
System Function: The air purge system is ready to pump out the non-condensable air in the heat pump and maintain a high vacuum condition. During operation, the diluted solution flows at a high rate to produce a local low pressure zone around the ejector nozzle. Thus the non-condensable air is pumped out of the heat pump. The system operates simultaneously with the heat pump. While the heat pump is working, the automatic system helps maintain a high vacuum inside and ensure system performance and a maximized service life.
The air purge system is a system composed of the ejector, cooler, oil trap, air cylinder and valve.

7. Solution Pump
The solution pump is used to deliver the LiBr solution and secure the normal flow of liquid working mediums inside the heat pump.
The solution pump is a wholly-enclosed, canned centrifugal pump featuring zero liquid leakage, low noise, high explosion-proof performance, minimal maintenance and a long service life.

8. Refrigerant Pump
The refrigerant pump is used to deliver refrigerant water and ensure the normal spray of refrigerant water on the evaporator.
The refrigerant pump is a wholly-enclosed, canned centrifugal pump featuring zero liquid leakage, low noise, high explosion-proof performance, minimal maintenance and a long service life.

9. Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump is used for vacuum purging at the start-up stage and air purging at the operation stage.
The vacuum pump features a rotary vane wheel. The button to its performance is vacuum oil management. The prevention of oil emulsification has an obviously positive impact on air purging performance and helps lengthen the service life.

10. Electric Cabinet
As the control center of the class II CE Certification Libr Absorption Heat Pump, the electrical cabinet houses the main controls and electrical components.
