Abstract

This paper presents the experimental results of using packed tower for regeneration of weak solution (x=0.37) of cakium Chloride When used as the absorbing solution in an open solar absorption Cooling system. The effect of the operating parameters on the regeneration process is highlighted. Also, treatment of calcium choride solution data is carried out and regression constants of the correlation and obtained for a wide range of operating parameters. The effectiveness of the regeneration process is dependent on the air inlet temperature. Comparison of the experimental data with theoretical investigation, given in literature, shows reasonable agreement.
