Experiments on evaporation and absorption for lithium bromide aqueous solutions(0-60wt%LiBr) were made in a vertical falling film type of stainless steal columm under reduced pressure, 8.0kPa. The changes of concentration and temperature in the falling film columm and the rates of absorption and evaporation were equivalent in the absorber and generator. They agreed well with the values calculated by the one-dimentional difference method using heat transfer coefficient, mass transfer coeficient and the unidirectional diffusion model. Therefore, it is guessed that a falling film type of absorber and generator may be designed by the same method. Considering the relation between heat flux and degree of superheat at heat transfer surface, and the mixing condition of lithium bromide aqueous solution in a generator, it is found that a falling film type generator is superior to a pool boiling type for a generator in absorption-type refrigerator and heat pump driven by low temperature heat source.
