Effect of evaporator temperature
Fig 4a and 4b show the effect of evaporator temperature on COP. The COP of both
systems increases with increase in evaporator temperature. Evaporator temperature
varies 4C-10C at different generator and evaporator temperatures.

Conclusions
A computer program is developed to compare the performance of simple cycle and
modified refrigeration cycle of single effect vapour absorption system. The various
effects are in variation in absorber, condenser evaporator and generator temperature
on COP. It is shown that an increase in the generator temperature increases the COP
up to an optimum generator temperature. The COP of the modified cycle of single
effect vapour absorption system is nearly 18. 72% greater than simple cycle of LiBr-
H
2
O vapour absorption system. The optimum value of COP is achieved at generator
temperature is 81. 20C, condenser and absorber temperature are 31. 7C and
evaporator temperature is 8. 6C. It is also shown that increase in evaporator

temperature increases the COP while increase in absorber and condenser temperature
decreases the COP. The analysis of both cycles proves that the performance of the
modified cycle is higher than simple cycle of LiBr-H

O vapour absorption system.
