Calculation Aqueous Lithium Bromide Vapour Pressure in Absorbtion Chiller

LiBr Vp chart:

or

Lecture in question (p.13)

http://www.mediafire.com/view/gly78yz339hv1x1/RAC_Lecture_15.pdf

In the lecture it says that at this temperature & at this concentration crystallisation will occur... however how can this be ascertained using the chart? I do know how to read such Duhring plots..

My second query directly relates to the LiBr Vp chart itself... at y-axis saturated water properties (Temp/Pressure) are plotted (refrigerant in Absorption cycle is water)

These can be easily matched with the following table

This means that what I am looking at saturated water properties of water.. how come I takes these readings as vapour pressure reading of LiBr.H2O system? The latter vapour pressures will eventually be less than pure water vapour pressures

Horse shoes vs. hand grenades?

It might be the values are not that much different, and if you go by the pure water vapor values, you don't bump yur bottom on the crystallization line.
