吸收式空调/热泵系统的重要组成部分之一是吸收器，制冷剂蒸汽在吸收器中被吸收到液体溶液中。虽然吸收系统已经使用了好几年，但吸收器中发生的过程（通常为降膜型）没有得到很好的理解，吸收速率方程也没有得到很好的建立（发展），就像吸收系统中存在的其他传热过程一样。目的是获得足够的降膜吸收实验数据，从而建立降膜吸收过程的关联式。合同的具体要求是: （a） 完成之前大学资助下主要开发的实验装置，（b）获得两对制冷剂/吸收剂的降膜实验数据，一对为水/LiBr，另一对为监测委员会指定的制冷剂/吸收剂，（c）获得不含添加剂和含添加剂的数据，（d）根据实验数据建立降膜吸收相关性；将实验结果与降膜吸收的数值模型进行比较。

One of the essential components of an absorption air-conditioning/ heat pumping system is the absorber, where the refrigerant vapor is absorbed into the liquid solution. While absorption systems have been in use for several years, the processes occurring in the absorber, usually of the falling-film type, are not well understood and absorption rate equations are not well founded (developed), as they are for the other heat transfer processes present in absorption systems.The objectives were to obtain sufficient experimental data on falling film absorption, that a correlation for the falling film absorption process could be developed. The specific requirements of the contract were to:(a) complete the experimental apparatus that had largely been developed under prior University funding,(b) obtain falling film experimental data for two refrigerant/ absorbent pairs, one being water/LiBr and the other to be specified by the monitoring committee,(c) obtain data both without and with an additive,(d) develop a correlation for falling film absorption based on the experimental data; and(e) compare the experimental results with the numerical model for falling film absorption.
