Development of a "hybrid" absorption chiller for combined heat and power systems.

Author(s) : BLUDNICKI E., WAGNER T. C., JUNG S. H.

Summary

The objective of this effort was the development and testing of an absorption chiller optimized for integration with waste heat from a reciprocating engine in a combined heat and power system. The design, which can provide 30% more cooling capacity than a typical single-effect absorption chiller, has been named a "hybrid chiller" due to the fact that it couples a double-effect cycle using exhaust energy and a single-effect cycle using jacket water energy. In this paper, the design of the chiller is described along with presentation of results from component and system testing of a 387 kW full-scale prototype.
