The invention relates to a device and a method for testing
absorbance by an electric
quantity method, in particular to a device and a method for continuously measuring the
absorbance of an adsorbing agent, comprising an absorber, an
evaporator / condenser, an absorber heating / cooling loop, an
evaporator / condenser cooling water loop, a
compressed air blowing
system, a
data acquisition and heater
control system, an evacuation vacuum valve and a switching vacuum valve, wherein the absorber heating / cooling loop comprises a water pump, a constant temperature hot / cold water bath and a corresponding pipeline; the
evaporator / condenser cooling water loop comprises a water pump, a constant temperature water bath and a corresponding pipeline; and the evacuation vacuum valve and the switching vacuum valve are arranged between the absorber and the evaporator / condenser. The device and the method have more favorable
controllability of test condition, simple measurement method, low test cost and higher
measurement precision, are free from the restriction of
environmental temperature and can simulate the absorbing environment of an adsorbing agent under the refrigerating condition, measure the
absorbance on a liquid substance at the normal temperature by the adsorbing agent, obtain the absorbance of the adsorbing agent by the
electric consumption of a heater, repeatedly carry out the measurement process and measure the circulating absorbance in the circulating process of absorbing
refrigeration. The invention can be used for testing the adsorbing performance of various adsorbing agents for
refrigeration.
