ABSORPTION CYCLE UTILIZING IONIC COMPOUNDS AND/OR NON-IONIC ABSORBENTS AS WORKING FLUIDS

摘要

This invention relates to compositions comprising a refrigerant and at least one ionic compound and/or non-ionic absorbent, and also to devices capable of executing an absorption cycle using such compositions as a refrigerant pair. This invention also provides methods and apparatus for cooling using an absorption cycle comprising a refrigerant, and at least one ionic compound and/or non-ionic absorbent as the absorbent. This invention also provides methods and apparatus for heating using an absorption cycle comprising a refrigerant, and at least one ionic compound and/or non-ionic absorbent,
