“…Bourouisa et al [92] compared the use of the working fluid combination water-(LiBr þLiI þLiNO3 þ LiCl) in a SSHT to an equivalent cycle operating with the conventional fluid LiBr-H 2 O. The multi-component salt working fluid was capable of achieving a higher COP value compared to the LiBr-H 2 O system under the conditions examined.…”

“…The results were compared with those obtained earlier for double absorption heat transformers (DAHT) [1]. Recent work in heat pumps in México [2][3][4] emphasizes their use for water purification, where moderate temperatures are involved and also the availability of large amounts of waste or geothermal heat to be used. Currently, not only in México efforts have also been made to find optimal absorbent solutions trying to replace the typical H 2 O/LiBr system because of its corrosiveness to steel, low availability and relatively high cost [2].…”

Currently, not only in México efforts have also been made to find optimal absorbent solutions trying to replace the typical H 2 O/LiBr system because of its corrosiveness to steel, low availability and relatively high cost [2]. The studied working pairs, which are readily available and environmentally friendly, are suitable for moderate temperature applications.…”

SUMMARY In this paper, a novel integrated solar photovoltaic thermal absorption desalination system for freshwater and cooling production is proposed and analyzed thermodynamically. Ammonia–water pair is considered as a working fluid for the absorption system. Effect of average solar radiation for different months, time period of solar radiation availability in Abu Dhabi, salinity of seawater, and temperature of the seawater on energetic and exergetic COPs, production rate of freshwater, and overall performance of the system are investigated under different operating conditions. It is found that energetic and exergetic COPs, production rate of freshwater, energetic and exergetic utilization factors, and performance ratios vary greatly from one month to another because of the dynamic variation in solar radiation and its time of availability. The highest amount of freshwater is produced in the month of July as calculated to be 152 kg/h for a collector area of 100 m2 and solar power of 4.8 kW. The highest energetic and exergetic COPs and utilization factors are also obtained for the month of July. Moreover, the highest performance ratio is found to be 0.056 as obtained in the month of July when solar radiation intensity is highest as available for more than half of a day.
