Methodology for thermal design of novel combined refrigeration/power binary fluid systems 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Refrigeration cogeneration systems which generate power alongside with cooling improve energy utilization significantly, because such systems offer a more reasonable arrangement of energy and exergy “flows” within the system, which results in lower fuel consumption as compared to the separate generation of power and cooling or heating. This paper proposes several novel systems of that type, based on ammonia–water working fluid. Importantly, general principles for integration of refrigeration and power systems to produce better energy and exergy efficiencies are summarized, based primarily on the reduction of exergy destruction. The proposed plants analyzed here operate in a fully-integrated combined cycle mode with ammonia–water Rankine cycle(s) and an ammonia refrigeration cycle, interconnected by absorption, separation and heat transfer processes. It was found that the cogeneration systems have good performance, with energy and exergy efficiencies of 28% and 55–60%, respectively, for the base-case studied (at maximum heat input temperature of 450 °C). That efficiency is, by itself, excellent for cogeneration cycles using heat sources at these temperatures, with the exergy efficiency comparable to that of nuclear power plants. When using exhaust heat from topping gas turbine power plants, the total plant energy efficiency can rise to the remarkable value of about 57%. The hardware proposed for use is conventional and commercially available; no hardware additional to that needed in conventional power and absorption cycles is needed. 相似文献

In this study, an improved cooling cycle for a conventional multi-evaporators simple compression system utilizing ejector for vapour precompression is analyzed. The ejector-enhanced refrigeration cycle consists of multi-evaporators that operate at different pressure and temperature levels. A one-dimensional mathematical model of the ejector was developed using the equations governing the flow and thermodynamics based on the constant-area ejector flow model. The model includes effects of friction at the constant-area mixing chamber. The energy efficiency and the performance characteristics of the novel cycle are theoretically investigated. The comparison between the novel and conventional system was made under the same operating conditions. Also, a comparison of the system performances with environment friendly refrigerants (R290, R600a, R717, R134a, R152a, and R141b) is made. The theoretical results show that the COP of the novel cycle is better than the conventional system. 相似文献

A new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed for the cogeneration, which combines the Rankine cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle by adding an extraction turbine between heat recovery vapor generator (HRVG) and ejector. This combined cycle could produce both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously, and could be driven by the flue gas from gas turbine or engine, solar energy, geothermal energy and industrial waste heats. Parametric analysis and exergy analysis are conducted to examine the effects of thermodynamic parameters on the performance and exergy destruction in each component for the combined cycle. The results show that the condenser temperature, the evaporator temperature, the turbine inlet pressure, the turbine extraction pressure and extraction ratio have significant effects on the turbine power output, refrigeration output, exergy efficiency and exergy destruction in each component in the combined cycle. It is also shown that the biggest exergy destruction occurs in the heat recovery vapor generator, followed by the ejector and turbine. 相似文献

A year-round dynamic simulation of a solar-driven ejector refrigeration system with iso-butane as a refrigerant 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In this paper, the performance of the solar-driven ejector refrigeration system with iso-butane (R600a) as the refrigerant is studied. The effects that both the operating conditions and the solar collector types have on the system's performance are also examined by dynamic simulation. The TRNSYS and EES simulation tools are used to model and analyze the performance of a solar-driven ejector refrigeration system. The whole system is modelled under the TRNSYS environment, but the model of the ejector refrigeration subsystem is developed in the Engineering Equations Solver (EES) program. A solar fraction of 75% is obtained when using the evacuated tube solar collector. In the very hot environment, the system requires relatively high generator temperature, thus a flat plate solar collector is not economically competitive because the high amount of auxiliary heat needed to boost up the generator temperature. The results from the simulation indicate that an efficient ejector system can only work in a region with decent solar radiation and where a sufficiently low condenser temperature can be kept. The average yearly system thermal ratio (STR) is about 0.22, the COP of the cooling subsystem is about 0.48, and the solar collector efficiency is about 0.47 at Te 15 °C, Tc 5 °C above the ambient temperature, evacuated collector area 50 m2 and hot storage tank volume 2 m3. 相似文献

Desiccant systems find applications in a very large variety of industrial and daily usage products including the new HVAC installations. An overview of liquid desiccant technology has been presented in this paper along with a compilation of experimental performance data of liquid desiccant dehumidifiers, empirical dehumidification effectiveness and mass transfer correlations in a useful and easy to read tabular format. The latest trends in this area suggest that hybrid systems are of current interest to HVAC industry, not only for high latent load applications but also for improving indoor air quality. The paper presents a comprehensive comparative parametric analysis of packed bed dehumidifiers for three commonly used desiccant materials viz. triethylene glycol, lithium chloride and calcium chloride, using empirical correlations for dehumidification effectiveness from the literature. The analysis reveals significant variations and anomalies in trends between the predictions by various correlations for the same operating conditions, and highlights the need for benchmarking the performance of desiccant dehumidifiers. 相似文献

The experimental investigation of the performance of a vapour ejector refrigeration system is described. The system uses R134a as working fluid and has a rated cooling capacity of 0.5 kW. The influence of generator, evaporator and condenser temperatures on the system performance is studied. This kind of system can be operated with low grade thermal energy such as solar energy, waste heat, etc. The operating conditions are chosen accordingly as, generator temperature between 338 K and 363 K, condenser temperature between 299 K and 310.5 K, and evaporator temperature between 275 K and 285.5 K. Six configurations of ejectors of different geometrical dimensions are selected for the parametric study. The performance of the refrigeration system at different operating temperatures is presented. 相似文献

There has been a demand for developments of the ejector refrigeration systems using low grade thermal energy, such as solar energy and waste heat. In this paper, a novel regenerative ejector refrigeration cycle was described, which uses an auxiliary jet pump and a conventional regenerator to enhance the performance of the novel cycle. The theoretical analysis on the performance characteristics was carried out for the novel cycle with the refrigerant R141b. Compared with the conventional cycle, the simulation results show that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the novel cycle increases, respectively, by from 9.3 to 12.1% when generating temperature is in a range of 80–160 °C, the condensing temperature is in a range of 35–45 °C and the evaporating temperature is fixed at 10 °C. Especially due to the enhanced regeneration with increasing the pump outlet pressure, the improvement of COP of the novel cycle is approached to 17.8% compared with that in the conventional cycle under the operating condition that generating temperature is 100 °C, condensing temperature is 40 °C and evaporating temperature is 10 °C. Therefore, the characteristics of the novel cycle performance show its promise in using low grade thermal energy for the ejector refrigeration system. 相似文献

CFD analysis of ejector in a combined ejector cooling system 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5
One-dimensional ejector analyses often use coefficients derived from experimental data for a set of operating conditions with limited functionality. In this study, several ejector designs were modelled using finite volume CFD techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejectors. The CFD results were validated with available experimental data. Flow field analyses and predictions of ejector performance outside the experimental range were also carried out. During validation, data from CFD predicted the entrainment ratios with greater accuracy on definite area ratios, although no shock was recorded in the ejector. Predictions outside the experimental range—at operating conditions in a combined ejector–vapour compression system—and flow conditions resulting from ejector geometry variations are discussed. It is found that the maximum entrainment ratio happens in the ejector just before a shock occurs and that the position of the nozzle is an important ejector design parameter. 相似文献

This paper proposed a workless-generator-feeding (WGF) system for a jet refrigeration cycle, using R141b. This feeding system does not require any mechanical power. The liquid refrigerant from the condenser was fed to the vapour-generator by means of the generator pressure and gravitational force. The system was tested and compared with a conventional system using a mechanical pump. It was found that this system was workable. The heat input to the generator was slightly higher than that for a system using a mechanical pump. The jet refrigeration cycle employing this new feeding system provided a slightly lower coefficient of performance (COP) compared to a system using a mechanical pump. However, this new system did not require any mechanical energy. Therefore, the jet refrigeration system employing this WGF system is truly a heat-power refrigeration cycle. 相似文献

Ammonia in low capacity refrigeration and heat pump systems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Ammonia has been used as refrigerant in large vapour compression systems continuously since the beginning of the era of refrigeration. In small systems, it has hardly been used at all since the introduction of the halogenated hydrocarbons around 1930. Lately, with the search for alternatives with less influence on global warming, the use of ammonia in small systems has come into focus again.In the present paper, the work done at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) with the aim of developing a prototype of a domestic water to water heat pump with a heating capacity of 9 kW is presented. It has been shown that such a system can be designed to operate with about 100 g of ammonia.Crucial problems in the development of the direct expansion system were to arrange for oil return, and to achieve good heat transfer in the evaporator. These problems were solved by use of an oil which is soluble in ammonia.The main obstacle for introducing this technology commercially is the limited supply of components. Particularly, there are no hermetic or semi-hermetic compressors for ammonia available in this size range. 相似文献

An experimental investigation of the performance of a micro-combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system is described. The natural gas and LPG-fired micro-CCHP system uses a small-scale generator set driven by a gas engine and a new small-scale adsorption chiller, which has a rated electricity power of 12 kW, a rated cooling of 9 kW and a rated heating capacity of 28 kW. Silica gel–water is used as working pair in the adsorption cooling system. The refrigeration COP of the adsorption chiller is over 0.3 for 13 °C evaporation temperature. The test facility designed and built is described, which supplies better test-rig platform for cooling, heating and power cogeneration. Experimental methodology of this system is presented and the results are discussed. An energetic analysis of micro-CCHP system is performed as well. The overall thermal and electrical efficiency is over 70%. 相似文献

Solar refrigeration options – a state-of-the-art review 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A state-of-the-art review is presented of the different technologies that are available to deliver refrigeration from solar energy. The review covers solar electric, solar thermal and some new emerging technologies. The solar thermal systems include thermo-mechanical, absorption, adsorption and desiccant solutions. A comparison is made between the different solutions both from the point of view of energy efficiency and economic feasibility. Solar electric and thermo-mechanical systems appear to be more expensive than thermal sorption systems. Absorption and adsorption are comparable in terms of performance but adsorption chillers are more expensive and bulkier than absorption chillers. The total cost of a single-effect LiBr–water absorption system is estimated to be the lowest. 相似文献

Computer simulation has become a required tool in the design phase of vapor compression systems; however with relatively few exceptions most simulations focus on the basic four component systems. With an increasing focus being placed on energy efficiency, the simulation of multi-component vapor compression systems (having multiple evaporators, condenser or compressors) will become essential to assist in the design of these more complicated systems. The implementation of a component-based framework will facilitate the simulation of multi-component systems. This paper describes three algorithms used to simulate a component-based vapor compression system. A test matrix of 6174 sample runs covering a wide range of operating conditions was constructed to determine the robustness and speed of each method when using three different types of nonlinear equation solvers. Each method was tested by simulating a basic four component cycle and a more advanced multiple evaporator system. The results are presented in such a format as to describe the reasons that contribute to any instability of the solvers and the computational efficiency of each method is discussed. 相似文献

The hydraulic refrigeration system (HRS) is a vapor-compression system that accomplishes the compression and condensation of the refrigerant in a unique manner, by entraining refrigerant vapor in a down-flowing stream of water and utilizing the pressure head of the water to compress and condense the refrigerant. A multi-stage HRS was designed, fabricated, and tested using n-butane as the refrigerant. In general, both the refrigeration rate and the coefficient of performance (COP) increased with a corresponding decrease in the compression fluid temperature of the third and final stage. The refrigeration rate and COP were also found to increase with a corresponding increase in evaporator temperature. The predictions of an enhanced model incorporating two-phase hydraulic losses show excellent agreement with the experimental data with a maximum error of ±20%. The results of the experimental investigation indicate that the HRS offers an attractive and feasible alternative to conventional vapor-compression systems, especially in applications where direct-contact heat exchange in the evaporator is desirable. 相似文献

The paper focuses on the search for the optimal operation modes of a complex thermal plant. The system under analysis is basically made-up by four gas-fueled reciprocating engines with heat recovery. Each engine can drive simultaneously an electric generator as well as the compressor of a heat-pump/chiller. The plant is interconnected to the electric utility grid, both to receive additional power and to deliver power in excess. In addition, each heat-pump/chiller can be driven electrically, using the electric generator as a motor. For any given load condition, a large number of operation modes are possible. The problem of finding out the configuration that minimizes the economic cost of operating the system is dealt with. This cost is regarded as the objective function to be minimized in a typical constrained optimization problem. Statement and solution of this problem are discussed. Numerical examples are included and commented. 相似文献

Jet-refrigeration cycles seem to provide an interesting solution to the increasing interest in environment protection and the need for energy saving due to their low plant costs, reliability and possibility to use water as operating fluid. A steam/steam ejector cycle refrigerator is investigated introducing a two-stage ejector with annular primary at the second stage. The steady_state refrigerator, exchanging heat with the water streams at inlet fixed temperatures at the three shell and tube heat exchangers, evaporator, condenser and generator, is considered as an open system. Heat transfer irreversibilities in the heat exchangers and external friction losses in the water streams are considered, ignoring the internal pressure drop of the vapor. A simulation program numerically searches the maximum COP at given external inlet fluid temperatures as a function of mass flows, dimensions and temperature differences in the heat exchangers. The code gives the ejector and heat exchangers design parameters. 相似文献

This paper presents an analysis of the influence of the distillation column components size on the vapour enrichment and system performance in small power NH3–H2O absorption machines with partial condensation. It is known that ammonia enrichment is required in this type of systems; otherwise water accumulates in the evaporator and strongly deteriorates the system performance and efficiency. The distillation column analysed consists of a stripping adiabatic section below the column feed point and an adiabatic rectifying packed section over it. The partial condensation of the vapour is produced at the top of the column by means of a heat integrated rectifier with the strong solution as coolant and a water cooled rectifier. Differential mathematical models based on mass and energy balances and heat and mass transfer equations have been developed for each one of the column sections and rectifiers, which allow defining their real dimensions. Results are shown for a given practical application. Specific geometric dimensions of the column components are considered. Different distillation column configurations are analysed by selecting and discarding the use of the possible components of the column and by changing their dimensions. The analysis and comparison of the different column arrangements has been based on the system COP and on the column dimensions. 相似文献

This paper deals with the problem of energetic efficiency evaluation of cogeneration systems for combined heat, cold and power production. Cogeneration systems have a large potential for energy saving, especially when they simultaneously produce heat, cold and power as useful energy flows. Various cogeneration systems for combined heat, cold and power production are designed by means of computer simulation to minimize consumption of the primary energy. Equations of energetic efficiency of this combined cogeneration systems are presented, that relate the primary energy rate (PER) and comparative primary energy saving (Δqp) to energy parameters of designed systems. Comparison of energetic efficiency of combined cogeneration systems with contemporary conventional separate production of heat, cold and power shows a large potential for energy saving by designed combined cogeneration systems. 相似文献

An adsorption cooling system was developed and tested and various operation procedures have been tried. The experimental results show that the heat recovery operation between two adsorption beds will increase the COP by about 25% if compared with one adsorber basic cycle system. It was also proved that mass recovery is very effective for heat recovery adsorption cooling operation, which may help to obtain a COP increase of more than 10%. Theoretical analyses on the COP have been completed for various heat and mass recovery cycles, such as basic intermittent adsorption cycle, continuous two-adsorber heat recovery cycle, mass recovery cycle, mass recovery with sensible heat recovery, and mass recovery with both sensible heat and heat of adsorption recovery. The theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental values. Based upon the developed theoretical model, it is possible to predict the COP for various operation procedures of a real adsorption cooling system. 相似文献
