Full Description

Compared with other enhancement techniques, additives are one of the most cost-effective ways to increase absorber capacity. Although the effectiveness of some additives is beyond doubt, the degree to which they are effective, the time period within which they remain effective, and the reasons for their positive effect on absorber performance are not well established. Addresses these issues in an experimental study of the effects of alcohol additives in lithium bromide water pool absorbers.
