Ionic Liquid-Refrigerant Mixture for Highly Efficient Absorption Heat Pump Systems

Recent Research activities:
Absorption heat pump (AHP) with ionic liquid (IL):

Figure 1 Background of this research: Using ILs in the AHP systems for building heating.

• ·         Properties estimation of NH3/ILs pairs
• ·         NH₃/ILs pairs in single-effect AHP
• ·         NH₃/ILs pairs in double-effect AHP
• ·         Absorption of NH₃ by ILs

Figure 2 Performance of NH₃/IL working pairs in single-effect AHP (a heating COP).

Figure 3 Performance of NH₃/IL working pairs in double-effect AHP (a cooling COP).
