Abstract

This chapter focuses on the Diffusion Absorption Refrigerator (DAR) cycle and describes a new advanced thermodynamic model which allows good predictions of the chiller performance in terms of efficiency and cooling capacity, starting from a precise evaluation of the thermo-physical properties of the working mixture at each point of the circuit. A steady state thermodynamic analytical model of the thermal pump driving the DAR is also included. In addition, the experimental validation of the model, performed on a prototype built coupling a domestic 750 W-magnetron with a small purposely modified commercial DAR to activate the thermal pump, is here included: a maximum mismatch of 2.32% in the weak mixture mass flow rate and lower than 5% in COP between the predicted and measured data were found.
