“…Solar cooling is a very promising technology that is able to cover the cooling load by utilizing the solar energy. Three are the main technologies for applying solar cooling; absorption chillers, absorption chillers and desiccant systems with the first to be the most used worldwide [7]. Various collector types are able to be combined with these chillers in order to produce the demanded cooling load.…”

“…Moreover, other working pairs can be used, instead H 2 O-LiBr, as lithium chloride/water (LiCl-H 2 O), ammonia-sodium thiocyanate (NH 3 -NaSCN) and ammonia/calcium chloride (NH 3 -CaCl 2 ) [7]. According to many researches, the use of LiCl-H 2 O in absorption cycle gives satisfying results compared to LiBr-H 2 O pair [11,12].…”

“…Thus, there emerges serious issues of electricity shortage, global warming, and environmental pollution . So, one promising method is to use renewable energy or low‐grade waste heat to produce cooling, such as solar energy or industrial waste heat . For example, one novel adsorption cycle was suggested and analyzed by Aristov .…”

Summary Adsorption cooling technology is an effective method to use low‐temperature heat sources, such as solar energy, waste heat from industry, etc. However, there exists one bottleneck in the adsorption system application, because of its low energy usage efficiency. In this paper, one novel integrated cycle is designed, investigated, and tested. It includes adsorption cooling cycle, ammonia expanding power generation, and organic Rankine cycle. By the performance comparison of 16 different organics, R600 is the most suitable choice for organic Rankine cycle in this system, due to its highest potential exergy and proper working pressure. The system total exergy efficiency can be improved significantly by the two parts of power generation. The results show that when the heating source, cooling water temperature, and evaporation temperature are approximately 120.1°C, 29.6°C, and −5.3°C, the specific cooling power, coefficient of performance, and total exergy efficiency can arrive at 351.4 W/kg, 0.17, and 0.34, respectively.

Abstract:The impact of vapour compression refrigeration is the main push for scientists to find an alternative sustainable technology. Vapour absorption is an ideal technology which makes use of waste heat or renewable heat, such as biomass, to drive absorption chillers from medium to large applications. In this paper, the aim was to investigate the feasibility of a biomass driven aqua-ammonia absorption system. An estimation of the solid biomass fuel quantity required to provide heat for the operation of a vapour absorption refrigeration cycle (VARC) is presented; the quantity of biomass required depends on the fuel density and the efficiency of the combustion and heat transfer systems. A single-stage aqua-ammonia refrigeration system analysis routine was developed to evaluate the system performance and ascertain the rate of energy transfer required to operate the system, and hence, the biomass quantity needed. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the results of the performance of a computational model of an aqua-ammonia system under a range of parameters. The model showed good agreement with published experimental data.
