Summary

The parameters that should be considered at the design stage of a combined heat and power (CHP) project have been determined for situations when absorption refrigeration is to be used. Single and double stage chillers are considered together with system features such as hot water, steam or heat recovery driven, in terms of the hot temperature heat source from the CHP plant. Finally the chiller efficiency, plant size and the electric consumption of cooling towers and condenser water pumps are analyzed to achieve an energy efficient system design.
