Mathematical modeling And Study of Automobile Air-Conditioning Based on Absorption Refrigeration System Using Exhaust Heat of a Vehicle

Abstract

Energy from an exhaust of an internal combustion engine is used to power an absorption refrigeration systemto air-condition an ordinary passenger vehicle. Feasibility study has been done to find out the energy available from exhaust gas of a vehicle. Cooling load for the automobile has been estimated. In this paper theoretical evaluation ofLiBr-Water based absorption refrigeration system is presented. Mathematical modeling of system using EES software is done, Alsoeffects on COP of system with change in different parameters has been studied
