Unfortunately, published data on the electrical conductivity of aqueous lithium\u2013bromide solution are few and contradictory. The objective of this paper is to develop an empirical equation for the determination of the concentration of the aqueous lithium\u2013bromide solution during the operation of the vapour absorption refrigeration system when the electrical conductivity and temperature of solution are known. The present study experimentally investigated the electrical conductivity of aqueous lithium\u2013bromide solution at temperatures in the range from 25 \u2103 to 95 \u2103 and concentrations in the range from 45% to 65% by mass using a submersion toroidal conductivity sensor connected to a conductivity meter. The results of the tests have shown this method to be an accurate and efficient way to determine the concentration of aqueous lithium\u2013bromide solution in the vapour absorption refrigeration system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data2010006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,19]],"date-time":"2017-01-19T10:55:40Z","timestamp":1484823340000},"page":"6","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Determination of Concentration of the Aqueous Lithium\u2013Bromide Solution in a Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System by Measurement of Electrical Conductivity and Temperature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9004-3869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salem","family":"Osta-Omar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Malta, MSD 2080 Msida, Malta"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0407-2082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Micallef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Malta, MSD 2080 Msida, Malta"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Gonzalez Gil, A.
