Summary

A household size trigeneration based on a small-scale diesel engine generator set is designed and realized in laboratory. Experimental tests are carried out to evaluate the performance and emissions of the original single generation (diesel engine generator); and the performances of the whole trigeneration including the diesel generator within the trigeneration system, the heat exchangers which are used to recover heat from engine exhaust, the absorption refrigerator which is driven by the exhaust heat; and the emissions from the whole trigeneration. Comparisons of the test results of two generations are also performed. The test results show that the total thermal efficiency of trigeneration reaches to 67.3% at the engine full load, comparing to that of the original single generation 22.1% only. Within the range of engine loads tested, the total thermal efficiencies of trigeneration are from 205 to 438% higher than that of the thermal efficiency of single generation.
