Abstract

This paper describes experimental results obtained with a single-stage heat transformer (SSHT). Many combinations of fluid pairs have been proposed although only the water/lithium bromide mixture has been widely used. The experimental work was done using the water/Carrol™ mixture, where Carrol™ is a mixture of LiBr and ethylene glycol [(CH2OH)2] in the ratio 1:4.5 by weight. Flow ratios, gross temperature lifts, useful heat, and coefficients of performance are plotted for the heat transformer vs temperatures and solution concentrations. Because the water/Carrol™ mixture has higher solubility than water/lithium bromide and high experimental values are obtained for the gross temperature lift, it is a preferred mixture.
