Electrical compression cooling versus absorption cooling: a comparison.

Author(s) : HONDEMAN H.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Within the context of Annex 24, a comparison is presented between two types of cooling systems: one using an electrical compression chiller and the other using an absorption chiller. The absorption chillers considered are all driven by heat from CHP (Combined Heat and Power) units. The comparison focuses on the relative levels of primary energy consumption and CO2 emission. A spreadsheet program is used to calculate these relative levels.
