METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
--------------------------
This conference paper analyzes experimentally determined material properties (e.g., thermal stability, corrosion behavior, heat capacity, contact angle) of the material pairs H2O/[EMIM][MeSO3] and H2O/Betain:Glycerol. In addition, the thermal and flow characteristics of H2O/[EMIM][MeSO3] are evaluated in the closed absorption heat pump process of a "glass demonstrator." In both cases, H2O/LiBr is used as a benchmark.The corresponding measurement data and evaluated results are separatly given.
