Abstract A new architecture for absorption refrigeration systems (ARSs) that enables a significant enhancement of heat and mass transport processes has been
proposed. This enhancement in performance is expected to translate into a significant reduction is size and cost of ARSs. The key innovation in the
new approach is the use of ultrathin liquid films constrained by highly permeable nanostructured membranes. This approach enables far greater
performance than those in the existing macroscale. For example, in the new absorber design, the thin film of LiBr solution is constrained by hydrophobic
porous membranes and the inner wall… More >
