Abstract
A theoretical model is developed to investigate both the static and dynamic characteristics of a solar-assisted lithium-bromide absorption type refrigeration cycle. The device consists of a solar collector, generator, condenser, evaporator, absorber and economizer. The lumped-parameter (or compartmental) analysis is employed in the formulation and is applied to study the air conditioning of a typical American residential house. Numerical results are obtained to demonstrate the static and dynamic behavior of the air-conditioning device.
