The lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system with medium temperature solar collector as driving heat source was built, and the refrigeration performance of the system was tested and analyzed. The medium-temperature solar collector adopts all-glass vacuum solar collector tube with heat-conducting oil as medium, and the inside of the vacuum tube is composed of heat-conducting medium flow channel on the sunny side and aluminum silicate insulation cotton on the backlight side. Through test and analysis, the medium temperature solar collector of the system can provide stable heat source, and the maximum temperature of solar heating can reach above 150°C in sunny weather and about 80°C in cloudy days. The generator driving heat of the system is stable and efficient. The driving heat of lithium bromide absorption refrigerator is higher than 200 MJ/h, and can reach 300 MJ/h in some periods. The COP of the system can be kept above 0.6 during stable operation, but when the driving temperature of the generator is higher than 80°C, the COP of the system basically does not increase with the increase of the driving temperature.

This paper presents a proposal to optimize the prototype II of a steam generator, developed by the Cooperativa de Pesquisa Norte/Nordeste de Gas Natural, RECOGÁS - UFPB, which is a component of an absorption refrigeration system of water and lithium bromide triggered by direct burning of natural gas. The optimization was carried out through changes in the arrangement, geometry, and number of the heat exchanger pipes. It was developed a computational code using F-Chart software Engineering Equation Solver® (EES), applying the principles of heat transfer to all the different geometries. As a result, their respective coefficients of heat transfer, heat flow rate and other parameters of the process were obtained. The findings are organized in a table and represented in graphs generated by the EES software, allowing to verify which factors had a greater influence on the process, as well as the most efficient geometries. Internal convection was identified as the governing factor in the heat transfer process. Some of the geometries presented satisfactory values to the product of overall heat transfer coefficient and surface area (UA) and also to the heat transfer rate in the steam generator. Other ones presented a better thermal efficiency relation with the amount of volume occupied in the steam generator. Some geometries did not present satisfactory values under any aspect.
