LiBr SALT PROCESS

REFERENCING PREVIOUS DIAGRAM WATER AS REFRIGERANT
LOW PRESSURE WATER VAPOR (2) COMES FROM THE EVAPORATOR WATER IS ABSORBED IN STRONG LiBr SOLUTION WEAK SOLUTION IS PUMPED TO (RE)GENERATOR THROUGH HEAT EXCHANGER (3,4,6) HEAT FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE VAPORIZES WATER WHICH GOES TO CONDENSER (7) STRONG LiBr SOLUTION RETURNS THROUGH EXCHANGER AND THROTTLING VALVE TO ABSORBER (5, 8) WATER VAPOR IS COOLED IN CONDENSER THEN FLOWS THROUGH A J-T VALVE TO THE EVAPORATOR (9, 1)
