An open cycle absorption system driven by internal combustion engine heat recovery for building heating and cooling.

Summary

A new HVAC system is proposed and studied. The plant is equipped with a reciprocating internal combustion gas engine which produces electric energy with heat recovery on the jacket water heat and on the exhaust. The electric energy serves the lighting, electro-motive force for the building and individual room reversible air-water heat pumps that satisfy mainly sensible cooling and a fraction of the winter heating load. An open cycle absorption system which treats the primary air, meets the summer latent load and year round ventilation requirements. In winter the system operates as an open cycle heat pump. The regeneration of the sorbent is obtained by the internal combustion engine recovery. The proposed system is analysed comparing its performance with a traditional plant both in summer and winter mode.
