LiBr-H2O system

The LiBr-H₂O system involves lithium bromide (LiBr) dissolved in water, creating a solution used in cooling and air conditioning. Lithium bromide has a strong tendency to absorb, or "dissolve" in water, forming a concentrated solution that can trap or release heat effectively. When used in absorption chillers, this system absorbs heat from a building to produce cooling without the need for electricity, making it energy-efficient. The properties of LiBr-H₂O solutions, such as how much they can dissolve and how they transfer heat, are essential for designing effective cooling systems.
