Abstract

In this paper ionic liquids are proposed as a novel absorbent for absorption refrigeration application with ammonia as refrigerant. The main objective of this work is to develop a measurement setup to study the absorption capacity of the ammonia vapour in ionic liquids in a pool type absorber. This investigation is essential in order to identify the most suitable ionic liquid as an absorbent for ammonia refrigerant. The ionic liquids studied in this work are combinations of two different cations ([EtOHmim]+ and [emim]+) and three different anions ([BF4]-, [NTf2]- and [EtSO4]-). The absorption processes are observed within 20 minutes in each experiment at different temperatures and pressures. The detail of the methodology and experimental setup are explained in this paper and measurement results of absorption capacity of ammonia into ionic liquid are discussed. Among all ionic liquids studied in this paper [EtOHmim]+ based ionic liquids shows higher absorption capacity than [emim]+ based ionic liquids, which means that the OH structure in the cation may improve the absorption capacity of ammonia.
