Abstract
An Immediate Heat Upgrading Absorption Air Conditioning System (IHUA System) uses Immediate Heat Upgrading Absorption Air Handlers (IHUA air handlers). In this system, an absorption solution consisting of a common salt and water is circulated through the IHUA air handlers to upgrade heat taken from a first air mass or water and release the upgraded heat to a second air mass immediately. Production of chilled water is avoided. An IHUA air handler has one or more Modular Evaporation-Absorption Panels (E-A panels) with two sets of heat transfer fin assemblies. An E-A panel has two closely spaced heat conductive walls enclosing a film evaporative zone and a film absorption zone that respectively exchange heat with air to be cooled and air to be heated through the two sets of fin assemblies. An IHUA system can also provide cool thermal storage by storing water and absorbing solutions. IHUA systems can be used in air conditioning buildings and moving vehicles. A Modular Regeneration-Condensation Panel (R-C panel). An Integrated Evaporation-Absorption and Regeneration-Condensation Panel (EA-RC panel) is also introduced.
