Fuel cell absorption chiller integrated system for commercial applications.
Author(s) : LAZZARIN R., MINCHIO F., NORO M., et al.
Summary
Fuel cells have recently undergone relevant technological developments. Their high electrical efficiency (that does not decrease under partial loads) is particularly appreciated. Major investment and research from industries and universities are directed to distributed cogeneration, besides automotive applications. The article reports on the description, analysis and results of simulations of a fuel cell absorption chiller/heat pump integrated system for commercial air conditioning. The fuel cell type analysed is a liquid cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The thermal levels of heat recovered from the fuel cells are extremely favourable to couple with a lithium bromide absorption chiller. The integrated system performances in department store or shopping centre air-conditioning systems are definitely interesting from both energy and pollution points of view. This study investigates the energy performance of this system in a commercial application by means of a transient numerical simulation model (Trnsys) and a MatLab-Simulink simulation model, compared with a traditional system.
