In an ammonia absorption system, where would you find the strong liquor?

In an ammonia absorption system, the strong liquor refers to the concentrated ammonia solution that is generated during the absorption process. This strong liquor is found in the generator, where the heat is applied to the weak liquor to regenerate ammonia gas.

In the generator, the weak solution that has absorbed ammonia from the absorber is heated. This heating drives off the ammonia gas, which can then be processed, while leaving behind a more concentrated solution of ammonia—hence, the term "strong liquor." This process is essential for continuously recycling the ammonia in the system.

The other components of the system, such as the absorber, evaporator, and condenser, play different roles in the cycle. The absorber is responsible for capturing ammonia from the vapor phase into the weak liquor, the evaporator is where the ammonia is usually turned into gas form to enhance the absorption cycle, and the condenser is where the ammonia gas condenses back into a liquid state. Each of these functions supports the overall operation but does not contain the strong liquor.
