Development of gas fired lithium bromide absorption technology in China

The Lithium Bromide Absorption Technology is widely applied in China. Especially in HVAC field, the absorption machines are used as heat or cold source for HVAC system. In 1980similar to1990, the lithium bromide absorption technology had been developing veryfast, not only the manufacture factories became more and more, but also its markets became larger and larger Occurring this situation depended on development of Chinese economy and electricity industries. After 1997, the increasing trends of the lithium bromide absorption machines almost stagnated. Now the development situation of lithium bromide absorption machines is not so exited. But in year 2000, the Chinese Government declared to start the project of the west-east gas transmission. And the project began to construct from the end of year 2001. So huge natural gas source brings great chances to develop gas fired lithium bromide absorption machines in China. In the paper the future background for the gas fired lithium bromide absorption machine is introduced. And how to develop the technology is analyzed. Some suggestions are handed out at the end of the paper.
