ABSTRACT:
The absorption power generator is similar to a conventional steam power generator. High pressure vapor is produced in a vapor generator and expanded in a prime mover to produce power. Exhaust vapor from the prime mover is collapsed to liquid and pumped back into the vapor generator. The absorption power generator differs in that the temperature of the vapor generator heat source can be much lower. This is because a low boiling point liquid, such as ammonia, is vaporized instead of water. Instead of condensing the exhaust vapor from the prime mover in a condenser, the exhaust vapor is absorbed by an absorbent liquid in an absorber. For ammonia, water is the absorbent liquid. Unused heat is rejected from the process, at normal heat rejection temperatures, by a high pressure condenser, working in parallel with the prime mover.
