Talk:Absorption refrigerator

message: There is a reference to Dew point in the single absorption area.  Is this supposed to be Boiling Point?  I don't have enough background to know, but it seems off. (But I just may not understand the concept clear enough) Mpking (talk) 15:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Many heat sources can be used, not just solar. I propose changing, once more, "i.e. solar" (that is, solar) to "e.g., solar" (for example, solar) in the lead para. --Old Moonraker 07:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This system is also used with power plants, and other heat generating industry, the cooled liquid produced can then be used in various applications, for example it is pumped to residents to replace Air condition. (Larkuur (talk) 16:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

It uses somewhat different terms for components, and does not depict how the written components function in a logical fashion.  The existing drawing does create confusion and needs to be replaced.

message: I'm currently studying at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, and I learned from them that Carré is recognized as the inventor of the principle. The Platen-Munters is an advanced design based on this first principle. For reference you can contact Björn Palm, head of refrigeration technology department.

message: The Bibliography section was basically a collection of external links.  So I moved most of it into the existing External Links section.  I also moved a link from the References section up into the External Links, and fixed the link.  The old Bibliography section included a reference to the movie White Banners -- the movie's main plot revolved around a stolen refrigerator invention, but other than that it didn't seem to have much to do with this page.  Finally, the old Bibliography section mentioned a 1925 Swedish publication by von Platen and Munters, but this is already covered in more detail in the History section. netjeff (talk) 22:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a thought. I'd be surprised if this is yet to be done, it would make the device a lot more efficient and reliable. Robo37 (talk) 12:48, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If you meant recycling of heat for reuse in the same device, that this unfortunately is not easily doable, as from physics we know that hot air flows up, but in this device the heater is bellow condenser (due to the same physics), so we need heat bring down from condenser back to heater. To achieve this we will need additional force to get heat down, e.g. using water pumping, but this will cost money and most possibly make noise which will be unacceptable. The only way how you can usefully use the heat from condenser is to heat your kitchen in winter. ;)The efficiency of this device only could be improved by better thermal control of boiler to avoid excessive heating of ammonia/water solution and by usage of materials which longer keep heat in boiler.

message: I am sorry that this page now has so little about the previous and continuing value of absorption refrigerators in the developing world, particularly for the storage of medical supplies.

replies: text: Yes, adsorption and absorption aren't the same at all. I don't think that there is such a thing as "adsorption refrigeration". My guess is that the redirect is here for those who mistype or mispell it when searching for this topic. --Jerome Potts (talk) 17:41, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Labelled photo of a domestic absorption refrigerator 

message: In the intro, we have "An absorption refrigerator changes the gas back into a liquid using a method that needs only heat.", whereas in the following "Principles" section, there is "The refrigerant-laden liquid is heated, causing the refrigerant to evaporate.". So, heat is used for both the evaporation and condensation ? How does this work for the condensation part ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The explanation given in the section is wrong, it's not about boiling, but evaporation. The boiling point of a liquid doesn't depend on the partial pressure in the atmosphere above the liquid, but on the total pressure. The temperature of the liquid determines the vapor pressure, if it is higher than the partial pressure, the liquid evaporates. If it is lower, the vapor condenses.

message: From the external links section, I deleted the link http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccms/documents/august_tsd/ac_thermo_august.pdf Air Conditioning Thermodynamics because the California Air Resources Board took it down. But first, I hunted down an archive copy, and it turns out it doesn't really belong in the external links section anyhow. It doesn't add much that is not already in the article. However, I thought I should mention two entries in its reference section, as they may be useful as references for the article:

* “Heat-Generated Cooling Opportunities in Vehicles” SAE 2002-01-1969, Valerie H. Johnson https://www.nrel.gov/transportation/assets/pdfs/2002_01_1969.pdf
