溴化锂制冷机技术在世界范围内受到了广泛的关注和发展。然而，要使溴化锂制冷机技术达到电动蒸汽压缩设备的控制精密水平，还需要做大量的工作。实时、现场、低成本和可靠的浓度测量是任何先进的溴化锂设备控制策略的关键需求。鉴于传感器技术和微电子领域的许多进步，使用这些传感器控制溴化锂制冷机运行所缺乏的是溴化锂水溶液的“二次属性”数据，作为温度和成分的函数。 本研究的目的是a）正式分类和评估已报告的溴化锂和水混合物的所有可用二次性能数据，b）评估将这些性能用于溴化锂/吸水系统控制应用的可行性，和c）评估目前在a和b项下选择的房地产可用的传感器技术。主要研究人员:罗伯特·塔普斯科特，默多克大学主持:1996年9月至1997年6月，赞助:TC 8.3，吸收和热操作机器

Lithium bromide chiller technology has experienced interest and growth worldwide. However, a considerable amount of work needs to be done to bring LiBr chiller technology up to the control sophistication level of electrically driven vapor compression equipment.Real time, in-situ, low cost and reliable concentration measurement is a critical need in any state-of-the-art control strategy for LiBr equipment. Given the many advances in sensor technology and in the microelectronics field, what is lacking for using these sensors to control LiBr chiller operation is "secondary property" data for aqueous LiBr solutions as a function of temperature and composition.The objective of this research is a) to formally categorize and evaluate all available secondary property data that has been reported for mixtures of Lithium Bromide and water, b) to evaluate its feasibility of utilizing these properties for control applications in Lithium bromide/water absorption systems, and c) to assess sensor technology available today for the properties selected under a and b.PRINCAL INVESTIGATOR: Robert Tapscott, Murdoch UniversityCONDUCTED:September 1996 - June 1997SPONSORED BY:TC 8.3, Absorption and Heat Operated Machines
