Absorption Refrigerator - Simple Salt and Water System

Simple Salt and Water System

A simple absorption refrigeration system common in large commercial plants uses a solution of lithium bromide salt and water. Water under low pressure is evaporated from the coils that are being chilled. The water is absorbed by a lithium bromide/water solution. The water is driven off the lithium bromide solution using heat.

Famous quotes containing the words simple, salt, water and/or system:

    Here we are, we’re alone in the universe, there’s no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We’ve only got ourselves. Somehow, we’ve just got to make a go of it. We’ve only ourselves.
    John Osborne (b. 1929)

    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 5:13.

    From the Sermon on the Mount.

    A spring,
    A pool among the rock
    If there were the sound of water only
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The intellect is vagabond, and our system of education fosters restlessness. Our minds travel when our bodies are forced to stay at home. We imitate; and what is imitation but the travelling of the mind?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
