dc.description.abstractIn this study the possibility of using waste heat to operate a small size air cooling device was investigated. Such devices are proposed to be used in automobile air conditioning systems that utilize either the rejected heat from the exhaust gases or the engine cooling water. Two different alternatives of heat exchanger types was proposed, they are: air-water system, and water-water system. The last type was used due to small surface areas. The designed absorption Refrigeration cycle uses LiBr2-watre pair as the working fluid.The proposed device was designed and constructed successfully using the proper metals. The main components were: evaporator, generator, condenser, absorber, and tow expansion valves. Many difficulties were faced during the operation of the device as result of the operating conditions since such cooling systems working pressure is 91 kPa vacuums. It was difficult to operate the cycle continually due the failure of the used pump under deep vacuum pressure. As a result the cycle was operated discontinuously and a 2oC temperature drop in the cooled water was observed for a single cycle operation for cold water flow rate of 0.0254 kg/s. It was concluded that such cooling device needs special type of throttling valves that work under very small pressure drop and vacuum conditions. Moreover the locations of the input and output lines from each component should be selected carefully to sure good self regulating level control of the liquid.en
