Description

WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 TITLE ABSORPTION POWER CYCLE SYSTEM CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/139,180, filed December 19, 2008. BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Disclosure. The present disclosure relates to an absorption power cycle system which uses the working fluid from an absorption circuit to produce mechanical work. Such a system is useful in a wide range of absorption cycle applications. 2. Description of Related Art. Absorption cycle systems are known in the fields of refrigeration, air conditioning and power generation. In a typical absorption cycle system, a working fluid is absorbed into an absorbent mixture and then is released out of the absorbent mixture. The absorber is part of an absorption circuit, which includes a liquid pump, a heat exchanger, an expansion or pressure reduction device and a generator, where the working fluid is released from the absorbent mixture before it enters a condenser and an evaporator to generate cooling or a turbine to generate mechanical power. The absorption circuit generates high pressure vapor through the use of, primarily, heat supplied to the generator and minimal mechanical power supplied to the liquid pump. The power generated by the turbine of an absorption cycle can be used to drive various types of equipment including equipment for the generation of electrical power. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an absorption cycle system which drives a device which produces mechanical work, such as a turbine or expander. The working fluid used could be or could contain 1 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 hydrofluoroolefins or hydrochlorofluoroolefins with negligible ozone depletion potentials and low global warming potentials. The absorbent used in the absorption circuit could be or could contain an ionic compound including ionic liquids with melting points below 1000C or even below ambient temperatures. One advantage of the use of ionic liquids as absorbents is their negligible volatility that allows almost pure working fluid to be released from the generator and supplied to the turbine without the need for any further rectification. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided an absorption power cycle system comprising an absorber for absorbing a working fluid into an absorbent, thereby forming an absorbent and working fluid mixture; a first heat exchanger disposed in fluid communication with the absorber for receiving and pre-heating the absorbent and working fluid mixture from the absorber, a liquid pump for pumping the absorbent and working fluid mixture from the absorber to the first heat exchanger; a generator disposed in fluid communication with the first heat exchanger for receiving the pre-heated mixture from the first heat exchanger and transferring additional heat into the pre-heated mixture, thereby releasing high pressure vapor of the working fluid; and a device for producing mechanical work from the high pressure working fluid disposed in fluid communication with the generator; wherein the absorbent comprises an ionic liquid. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention may be better understood with reference to the following Figure, wherein: FIG.1 is a schematic diagram of an absorption power cycle system according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG.2 is a schematic diagram of an absorption power cycle system that includes simultaneous cooling according to another embodiment of the present invention. 2 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 FIG.3 is a schematic diagram of an absorption power cycle system that simultaneously provides cooling according to another embodiment of the present invention. It differs from the embodiment in FIG.2 in that it does not involve condensation and evaporation of the working fluid. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A schematic diagram of an absorption system according to the present invention is shown generally at 10 in FIG. 1. The system includes an absorber circuit shown at 20-1 in FIG. 1 for mixing a working fluid with an absorbent, thereby forming an absorbent and working fluid mixture, and for circulating the absorbent and working fluid mixture therethrough. The system also includes a first heat exchanger 20-3 disposed in fluid communication with the absorber circuit, a generator 20-4 disposed in fluid communication with the first heat exchanger, and a device 10-2 for producing mechanical work disposed in fluid communication with the generator. The absorber 20-1 has an inlet for delivering the working fluid vapor, where it is combined with a mixture of working fluid and an absorbent with a low working fluid-content delivered via line 25 to form an absorbent/working fluid mixture with a high working fluid-content. The absorbent may be or may contain an ionic compound. The absorption of the working fluid into the absorbent also, in general, generates heat (heat of absorption). Cooling water moves through the tube bundles (not shown) of the absorber to remove this heat of absorption from the system. The high working fluid-content mixture collects at the bottom of the absorber, so that the absorption cycle can begin again. The high working fluid-content absorbent/working fluid mixture exits from the absorber through an outlet line 21 and is sent to the liquid pump, 20-2, which pumps the mixture to the first heat exchanger 20-3. The first heat exchanger pre-heats the mixture before it enters the generator. The first heat exchanger may be, as an example, a shell and tube type heat exchanger, or a plate and frame type heat exchanger. After exiting the 3 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 first heat exchanger, the mixture flows into the generator through a line 22. The generator is supplied with heat from any suitable external source. If desired, a second, higher temperature generator may be used to improve process efficiency. In one embodiment, within the generator is a bundle of tubes (not shown) which carry hot water or other heat transfer fluid, steam, or combustion gases, which are supplied to the generator via a line 23. The hot water or other heat transfer fluid, steam or combustion gases transfer heat into the high working fluid-content absorbent/working fluid mixture. The heat causes the said mixture to release working fluid vapor, which exits from the generator through a line 26 leaving a low working fluid-content mixture behind. The working fluid exiting the generator is now a higher pressure vapor. In some instances, there is only trace working fluid left in the liquid mixture exiting the generator via a line 24. In other instances some non-negligible amount of working fluid remains in the absorbent/working fluid mixture exiting the generator, said amount ranging from about 1 weight percent to about 80 weight percent. In any case, the amount of working fluid in the mixture exiting the generator via line 24 is lower than in the mixture that exited the absorber via line 21. The exact amount of working fluid remaining in the mixture exiting the generator will depend on many factors including the solubility of the working fluid in the absorbent. The low working fluid-content absorbent/working fluid mixture flows via line 24 back to the first heat exchanger where it is cooled by the high working fluid-content absorbent/working fluid mixture which has been pumped out of the absorber. The low working fluid-content absorbent/working fluid mixture flows from the first heat exchanger through an expansion or pressure reduction device 20-5 to the absorber via a line 25 and collects in the bottom of the absorber where it started the absorption circuit cycle, and the cycle through the absorber, pump, first heat exchanger and generator repeats. As noted above, the working fluid, which is a high pressure vapor, exits the generator 20-4 via line 26. The high pressure working fluid vapor 4 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 flows to a device for producing mechanical work, such as a turbine 10-2 as shown in FIG. 1. In the turbine, the high pressure working fluid is used to drive a shaft or otherwise produce mechanical work. The working fluid exits from the turbine as a low pressure vapor, and enters the absorber, and the overall working fluid cycle repeats. The present invention allows for various configurations for optimizing energy management, in general, thereby increasing cycle energy efficiency, and heat recovery, in particular, from the high-temperature, high-pressure working fluid which can be used in a device for producing mechanical work. While a turbine is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 and described above (and in the description of other embodiments below), it is understood that various configurations of the device for producing mechanical work are within the scope of the present invention. In an alternate embodiment, the absorption cycle of the present invention may be used to produce both mechanical work and heating or cooling. A schematic diagram of an absorption power system including simultaneous cooling according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 30 in FIG. 2. In this case, the system includes a condenser 10-3, an expansion device (shown as an expansion valve 10-4 in FIG 2, but may be a capillary tube or other as generally known in the art) and an evaporator 10-5, in that order, between the turbine 10-2 and the absorber 20-1. The high pressure vapor working fluid from the generator 20-4 first flows to the turbine 10-2 through line 26, thus generating power. The vapor working fluid flows to the condenser 10-3, wherein cooling water (contained in, for instance, a coil of tubing (not shown) located within the condenser) causes the vapor working fluid to form liquid working fluid. The liquid working fluid flows from the condenser to an expansion valve 10-4 through line 16, where some vaporization would take place and the combined vapor and liquid working fluid then flows through line 14 to the evaporator 10-5, where it becomes fully vaporized working fluid, thereby producing cooling, so that no liquid remains. The vapor working fluid from the evaporator moves through 5 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 line 13 to the absorber and the cycle then repeats as in the first embodiment described above herein. The hot water or other heat transfer fluid, steam, or combustion gases supplied to the generator in order to release working fluid vapor from the absorbent/working fluid mixture may be supplied by any number of sources, including water heated with waste heat from a combustion engine (combustion gases), water heated with geothermal heat and solar heated water, among others. Additionally, some source of heat (for example, heat from a body to be cooled such as a building) is required to evaporate the working fluid in the evaporator of the alternative embodiment described for the absorption power cycle including simultaneous cooling. Cooling water is used in the absorber and in the condenser in the embodiments as described above. For sake of simplicity, the cooling water streams through the absorber and condenser are not shown. In one embodiment, the cooling water will flow into the absorber, where it warms due to the heat of absorption released upon the working fluid absorbing into the absorbent. From the absorber, the cooling water flows to a cooling tower, not shown, and is pumped back to the absorber. In one embodiment, disclosed herein is a process for producing mechanical work comprising forming an absorbent/working fluid mixture in an absorber, heating the absorbent/working fluid mixture to release working fluid vapor, and sending the working fluid vapor to a device for producing mechanical work, and reforming the heated absorbent/working fluid mixture. By reforming is meant re-diluting the concentrated absorbent/working fluid mixtures through the absorption of working fluid vapor to restore the ability of the mixture to transfer working fluid to the generator. In another embodiment, said process for producing mechanical work, further comprises (after producing mechanical work and before reforming the heated absorbent/working fluid mixture) condensing said working fluid 6 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 in a condenser; partially vaporizing said working fluid in an expansion device; and fully vaporizing said working fluid in an evaporator thereby producing cooling. In yet another embodiment, the cycle of FIG. 2 can be used for simultaneous generation of mechanical power and heating. A heating cycle would function just as the cooling cycle of FIG 2 described above herein, with the heating step taking place in the condenser 10-3. Heating is provided by the heat released by the working fluid upon condensation in the condenser and absorption in the absorber. In this embodiment, the evaporator extracts heat from sources external to the cycle (and not shown in FIG 2) such as ambient air, natural bodies of water including water in the bottom of a lake or pond or the relatively stable temperature ground below the earth's surface. The heating function of the cycle is thus similar to that of a heat pump. In this embodiment, said process for producing mechanical work, further comprises (after producing mechanical work and before reforming the heated absorbent/working fluid mixture) condensing said working fluid in a condenser thereby producing heat; partially vaporizing said working fluid in an expansion device; and fully vaporizing said working fluid in an evaporator. In yet another embodiment, shown in FIG. 3, simultaneous mechanical power and cooling are generated without a condenser. In this embodiment, the working fluid is expanded through the turbine or other expander producing mechanical work and being cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature without condensation. Then the cold working fluid vapor passes through a second heat exchanger (shown as 10-6 in FIG. 3) absorbing heat from a stream to be cooled (such as a heat transfer fluid, including water, among others, not shown in FIG. 3). In this embodiment, said process for producing mechanical work, further comprises (after producing mechanical work and before reforming the heated absorbent/working fluid mixture) absorbing heat from a stream to be cooled in a second heat exchanger, thus producing cooling of the stream to be cooled. 7 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 Working fluid/Absorbent Pairs Working fluids The present invention provides working fluid/absorbent pair compositions for use in absorption power cycles with or without simultaneous generation of cooling or heating. In one embodiment, water is used as a working fluid in this invention. In another embodiment, the working fluid may be a hydrofluorocarbon, a hydrochlorofluorocarbon, a chlorofluorocarbon, a fluorocarbon, nitrogen (N 2 ), oxygen (02), carbon dioxide (C02), ammonia (NH 3 ), argon (Ar), hydrogen (H 2 ), a non fluorinated hydrocarbon, or methanol, or mixtures thereof, meaning mixtures of any of the foregoing working fluids in this paragraph. The non fluorinated hydrocarbons are selected from the group consisting of C1 to C7 straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkanes and C1 to C7 straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkenes, is within the scope of this invention as well.

CH=CH
2 . The contacting of a perfluoroalkyl iodide with a perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin may take place in batch mode by combining the reactants in a suitable reaction vessel capable of operating under the autogenous pressure of the reactants and products at reaction temperature. Suitable reaction vessels include fabricated from stainless steels, in particular of the austenitic type, and the well-known high nickel alloys such as Monel* nickel-copper alloys, Hastelloy* nickel based alloys and Inconel* nickel-chromium alloys. Alternatively, the reaction may be conducted in semi-batch mode in which the perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin reactant is added to the perfluoroalkyl iodide reactant by means of a suitable addition apparatus such as a pump at the reaction temperature. The ratio of perfluoroalkyl iodide to perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin should be between about 1:1 to about 4:1, preferably from about 1.5:1 to 2.5:1. Ratios less than 1.5:1 tend to result in large amounts of the 2:1 adduct as reported by Jeanneaux, et. al. in Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, Vol. 4, pages 261-270 (1974). Preferred temperatures for contacting of said perfluoroalkyl iodide with said perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin are preferably within the range of about 1500C to 3000C, preferably from about 1700C to about 2500C, and most preferably from about 1800C to about 2300C. 17 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 Suitable contact times for the reaction of the perfluoroalkyl iodide with the perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin are from about 0.5 hour to 18 hours, preferably from about 4 to about 12 hours. The trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane prepared by reaction of the perfluoroalkyl iodide with the perfluoroalkyltrihydroolefin may be used directly in the dehydroiodination step or may preferably be recovered and purified by distillation prior to the dehydroiodination step. The dehydroiodination step is carried out by contacting the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane with a basic substance. Suitable basic substances include alkali metal hydroxides (e.g., sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide), alkali metal oxide (for example, sodium oxide), alkaline earth metal hydroxides (e.g., calcium hydroxide), alkaline earth metal oxides (e.g., calcium oxide), alkali metal alkoxides (e.g., sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide), aqueous ammonia, sodium amide, or mixtures of basic substances such as soda lime. Preferred basic substances are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Said contacting of the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane with a basic substance may take place in the liquid phase preferably in the presence of a solvent capable of dissolving at least a portion of both reactants. Solvents suitable for the dehydroiodination step include one or more polar organic solvents such as alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, and tertiary butanol), nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, benzonitrile, or adiponitrile), dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, or sulfolane. The choice of solvent may depend on the boiling point product and the ease of separation of traces of the solvent from the product during purification. Typically, ethanol or isopropanol are good solvents for the reaction. Typically, the dehydroiodination reaction may be carried out by addition of one of the reactants (either the basic substance or the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane) to the other reactant in a suitable reaction 18 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 vessel. Said reaction may be fabricated from glass, ceramic, or metal and is preferably agitated with an impeller or stirring mechanism. Temperatures suitable for the dehydroiodination reaction are from about 10 C to about 100 C, preferably from about 200C to about 700C. The dehydroiodination reaction may be carried out at ambient pressure or at reduced or elevated pressure. Of note are dehydroiodination reactions in which the compound of Formula (i) is distilled out of the reaction vessel as it is formed. Alternatively, the dehydroiodination reaction may be conducted by contacting an aqueous solution of said basic substance with a solution of the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane in one or more organic solvents of lower polarity such as an alkane (e.g., hexane, heptane, or octane), aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g., toluene), halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g., methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or perchloroethylene), or ether (e.g., diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, diglyme, or tetraglyme) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Suitable phase transfer catalysts include quaternary ammonium halides (e.g., tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium hydrosulfate, triethylbenzylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride), quaternary phosphonium halides (e.g., triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide and tetraphenylphosphonium chloride), or cyclic polyether compounds known in the art as crown ethers (e.g., 18-crown-6 and 15-crown-5). Alternatively, the dehydroiodination reaction may be conducted in the absence of solvent by adding the trihydroiodoperfluoroalkane to a solid or liquid basic substance. Suitable reaction times for the dehydroiodination reactions are from about 15 minutes to about six hours or more depending on the solubility of the reactants. Typically the dehydroiodination reaction is rapid and requires about 30 minutes to about three hours for completion. The compound of Formula (i) may be recovered from the dehydroiodination 19 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 reaction mixture by phase separation after addition of water, by distillation, or by a combination thereof. In another embodiment of the present invention, the working fluid is selected from fluoroolefins comprising cyclic fluoroolefins (cyclo [CX=CY(CZW)o-] (Formula (ii)), wherein X, Y, Z, and W are independently selected from H and F, and n is an integer from 2 to 5). In one embodiment the fluoroolefins of Formula (ii), have at least about 3 carbon atoms in the molecule. In another embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula (ii) have at least about 4 carbon atoms in the molecule. In another embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula (ii) have at least about 5 carbon atoms in the molecule. In yet another embodiment, the fluoroolefins of Formula (ii) have at least about 6 carbon atoms in the molecule. Representative cyclic fluoroolefins of Formula (ii) are listed in Table 2.

In another embodiment, the hydrofluorocarbon working fluids may comprise mixtures or blends of hydrofluorocarbons with other compounds such as hydrofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrocarbons or other compounds. Such working fluid blends include the following compositions: HFO-1447fzy with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cis- or trans-HFO-1438mzz, cis- or trans-HFO1 336mzz, HCFO-1 233xf, and cis- or trans-HCFO-1 233zd; cis-HFO-1438mzz with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of trans-HFO-1438mzz, cis- or trans-HFO1 336mzz, HCFO-1 233xf, and cis- or trans-HCFO-1 233zd; trans-HFO-1438mzz with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cis- or trans-HFO1336mzz, HCFO-1233xf, cis or trans-HCFO-1 233zd, and isopentane; cis-HFO-1 336mzz with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of trans-HFO-1 336mzz, HCFO-1 233xf, cis- or trans HCFO-1 233zd, isopentane, n-pentane, cyclopentane, methyl formate, 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123), and trans-1,2 dichloroethylene; trans-HFO-1 336mzz with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HCFO-1 233xf, and cis- or trans-HCFO-1 233zd; 34 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 HCFO-1 233xf with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cis- and trans-HCFO-1233zd. In another embodiment, working fluids that are mixtures may be azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions such as the following: about 51 weight percent to about 70 weight percent cis-HFO 1336mzz and about 49 weight percent to about 30 weight percent isopentane; about 62 weight percent to about 78 weight percent cis-HFO 1336mzz and about 38 weight percent to about 22 weight percent n-pentane; about 75 weight percent to about 88 weight percent cis HFO-1336mzz and about 25 weight percent to about 12 weight percent cyclopentane; about 25 weight percent to about 35 weight percent cis HFO-1336mzz and about 75 weight percent to about 65 weight percent HCFC-1 23; about 67 weight percent to about 87 weight percent cis-HFO 1336mzz and about 33 weight percent to about 13 weight percent trans-1,2-dichloroethylene; and about 61 weight percent to about 78 weight percent trans-HFO 1438mzz and about 39 weight percent to about 22 weight percent isopentane. Absorbents In a preferred embodiment of the absorption cycle of this invention, the absorbent used is an ionic compound, which can in principle be any ionic liquid that absorbs the selected working fluid (e.g. ammonia or C02, HFO-1 336mzz or H FO-1 234yf or HCFO-1 233zd or HCFO-1 233xf or mixtures thereof). A suitable ionic liquid that absorbs working fluid is an ionic liquid with which at least to some extent working fluid is miscible. The energy efficiency of the absorption power cycle will, generally, 35 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 increase with increased absorptivity of the ionic liquid for the working fluid (i.e., the working fluid has high miscibility therewith or the working fluid is soluble therein to a large extent). Many ionic liquids are formed by reacting a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring, preferably a heteroaromatic ring, with an alkylating agent (for example, an alkyl halide) to form a quaternary ammonium salt, and performing ion exchange or other suitable reactions with various Lewis acids or their conjugate bases to form the ionic compound. Examples of suitable heteroaromatic rings include substituted pyridines, imidazole, substituted imidazole, pyrrole and substituted pyrroles. These rings can be alkylated with virtually any straight, branched or cyclic C1-20 alkyl group, but preferably, the alkyl groups are C1.16 groups. Various triarylphosphines, thioethers and cyclic and non-cyclic quaternary ammonium salts may also been used for this purpose. Counterions that may be used include chloroaluminate, bromoaluminate, gallium chloride, tetrafluoroborate, tetrachloroborate, hexafluorophosphate, nitrate, trifluoromethane sulfonate, methylsulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, hexafluoroantimonate, hexafluoroarsenate, tetrachloroaluminate, tetrabromoaluminate, perchlorate, hydroxide anion, copper dichloride anion, iron trichloride anion, zinc trichloride anion, as well as various lanthanum, potassium, lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and other metal-containing anions. Ionic liquids may also be synthesized by salt metathesis, by an acid base neutralization reaction or by quaternizing a selected nitrogen containing compound; or they may be obtained commercially from several companies such as Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) or BASF (Mount Olive, New Jersey). Representative examples of ionic liquids useful herein are included among those that are described in sources such as J. Chem. Tech. Biotechnol., 68:351-356 (1997); Chem. Ind., 68:249-263 (1996); J. Phys. Condensed Matter, 5: (supp 34B):B99-B1 06 (1993); Chemical and 36 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 Engineering News, Mar. 30,1998, 32-37; J. Mater. Chem., 8:2627-2636 (1998); Chem. Rev., 99:2071-2084 (1999); and WO 05/113,702 (and references therein cited). In one embodiment, a library, i.e. a combinatorial library, of ionic compounds may be prepared, for example, by preparing various alkyl derivatives of a quaternary ammonium cation, and varying the associated anions. The acidity of the ionic compounds can be adjusted by varying the molar equivalents and type and combinations of Lewis acids.

2 N]-, F, and any fluorinated anion. The working fluid will preferably be miscible with or soluble in an ionic liquid as used herein over the temperature range of the operation of the absorption system, particularly from that of the absorber to that of the generator. As a consequence, over the absorption system temperature range, a variety of different levels of the relative content of the working 43 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 fluid and absorbent in an absorption cycle are suitable, and the concentration of either working fluid or an ionic liquid in a composition formed therefrom may be in the range of from about 1 % to about 99% by weight of the combined weight of the ionic liquid and working fluid therein. In various embodiments of this invention, an ionic liquid formed by selecting any of the individual cations described or disclosed herein, and by selecting any of the individual anions described or disclosed herein with which to pair the cation, may be used as an absorbent in an absorption power cycle. Correspondingly, in yet other embodiments, a subgroup of ionic liquids formed by selecting (i) a subgroup of any size of cations, taken from the total group of cations described and disclosed herein in all the various different combinations of the individual members of that total group, and (ii) a subgroup of any size of anions, taken from the total group of anions described and disclosed herein in all the various different combinations of the individual members of that total group, may be used as an absorbent. In forming an ionic liquid, or a subgroup of ionic liquids, by making selections as aforesaid, the ionic liquid or subgroup will be used in the absence of the members of the group of cations and/or anions that are omitted from the total group thereof to make the selection, and, if desirable, the selection may thus be made in terms of the members of the total group that are omitted from use rather than the members of the group that are included for use. An absorbent as used in an absorption power cycle is desirably a compound that has high solubility for a working fluid (e.g., ammonia) and also a very high boiling point relative to the working fluid. The absorbent used in the present invention could (but does not have to) contain or consist essentially of an ionic liquid, that is, it could contain or consist essentially of a non-ionic compound. Suitable non-ionic compound absorbents include, but are not limited to ethers, esters, amides and ketones. 44 WO 2010/080467 PCT/US2009/068380 Mixtures of ionic liquids or non-ionic compounds or mixtures of non ionic compounds and ionic liquids may also be used herein as the absorbent, and such mixtures may be desirable, for example, for achieving proper absorption behavior. Additives, such as lubricants, crystallization inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, dyes, and other appropriate materials may be added to the working fluid/absorbent pair compositions useful for the invention for a variety of purposes provided they do not have an undesirable influence on the extent to which the working fluid is soluble in an ionic liquid absorbent. The working fluid/absorbent pair compositions of the invention may be prepared by any convenient method, including mixing or combining the desired amounts of each component in an appropriate container using, for example, known types of stirrers having rotating mixing elements. Crystallization inhibitors include those compounds as described in co-pending PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US09/63599, filed November 6, 2009, and co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial Nos. 61/165,089, 61/165,093, 61/165,147, 61/165,155, 61/165,160, 61/165,161, 61/165,166, and 61/165,173, all of which were filed on March 31, 2009. 45
