| Abstract |
The performance of a microturbine CHP system equipped with an absorption chiller was analyzed by modeling it. The microturbine with recuperator was simulated with the Brayton cycle model. The mass flow rate and available heat energy of the exhaust gas from the microturbine were simulated. These results were utilized as input values for the generator of the absorption chiller. The absorption chiller is a single-effect air cooled type with a solution heat exchanger. The heat input into the generator was proportional to the heat transfer rate and the UA values of the heat exchangers of the absorption chiller. Furthermore, the COP of the absorption chiller increased with respect to an increase of the heat input into the generator, under the sufficient evaporator capacity condition. When the capacity of the CHP system increased from 30 to 60 kW, the mass flow rate of the LiBr for the absorption chiller doubled, and the UA values for evaporator and condenser increased by factors of x3.9 and x3.4, respectively, under the same COP condition. |
