Performance analysis of a heat engine driven combined vapor compression–absorption–ejector refrigerator

Abstract

An endoreversible heat engine driven refrigeration cycle based on the combination of an absorption cycle with vapor and ejector compression cycles is described. This integration maximizes the performance of the conventional ejector and absorption cycles and provides high performance for refrigeration. The analysis shows that the combined cycle has a significant increase in system performance over the heat engine driven vapor compression refrigerators and heat engine driven combined vapor compression and absorption refrigerators.
