sensible heat removal simultaneously. In many industrial applications it is not necessary to aftercool the air. In applications requiring low drybulb temperatures excess sensible heat must be removed by an aftercooler.
Since the absorption process can continue only as long as there is a difference in vapor pressure between the absorbent and the air-vapor mixture and since at a given temperature of the absorbent the vapor pressure depends on the concentration of the solution, evidently there must be a relation between these quantities which, if known, would state
Fig. 3. Temperature--Pressure--Concentrations For Calcium Chloride
the limits of the process. The relationship would also depend on the absorbent being used, and would have to be determined for each sub stance used as an absorbent. This relationship is shown graphically in Fig. 2 for lithium chloride, and Fig. 3 presents similar data for calcium chloride. These charts are essentially similar to Fig. 1, and their direct usefulness is limited by much the same considerations. Other physical .'properties of lithium chloride are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
In Fig. 2 and Table 1 the unit of concentration is the mol. An M molal solution is defined as a solution containing M X 42.37 grains of anhydrous ' lithium chloride.per 1000 grains of water. The formula connecting con-, centration in mols with weight in per cent is equivalent to:' (100 X MX 42.37) -f [1000 + (AfX 42.37)]. '
