Abstract

Green air-conditioning system is important for the development of low carbon society. Compared with vapour compression system, absorption system is more environment-friendly and can be driven by renewable energy. But the low performance impedes its development. The major reason lies in the energy waste in the thermal regeneration process. To improve, capacitive deionization (CDI) regeneration method is proposed. Driven by electric power, it regenerates absorbent with capacitors, thus avoids the waste heat and enhances the performance. To test the actual performance of the new method, experimental research has been conducted in this paper. The influence of some key parameters, like the concentration, has been investigated. The results expose the actual regeneration capacity and current efficiency under different working conditions. The actual COP attained 1.6 in the experiments, which indicates the new method could have better performance than that of the traditional thermal regeneration method.
