A Dynamic Model of an Absorption Chiller for Air Conditioning

In this paper we study the absorption chiller with a water/lithium bromide solution. Its dynamic behaviour is described by means of constitutive correlationships and conservation equations. We will work out a detailed model linking the plant dynamic behaviour to the various phenomena and their interactions. The model is implemented using Simulink libraries that interact with several S-functions written in the C programming language.
