Best practice: data center cooling using CHCP technology.

Author(s) : ZEGENHAGEN T., CORRALES J., PETERSEN S., et al.

Summary

The combined generation of heat, cold, and power (CHCP trigeneration) aims at primary energy savings in comparison to conventional conversion systems generating heat, cold, and power separately. However, elevated system complexity of CHCP generation results in increased investment costs which might deteriorate the cost-effectiveness of the system. To identify and improve economical and environmental factors of small-scale CHCP generation, 12 field tests of different CHCP system configurations are currently conducted within the European project PolySMART (POLYgeneration with advanced small and medium scale thermally-driven air-conditioning and refrigeration technology). The installations intend to demonstrate the technical feasibility of small trigeneration systems and to provide tools and guidelines for the transfer of newly developed systems into practical application. A district heat driven lithium-bromide absorption chiller has been installed and is currently operated at the TU Berlin. Experimental data of the cooling plant, its primary energy savings in comparison to a conventional reference system, and possible system improvements are presented in the paper.
