Heat-activated dual-function absorption cycle.

Author(s) : ERICKSON D. C., ANAND G.

Summary

This paper presents a description of the dual-function absorption cycle. General background is presented on absorption power cycles, including a comparison to better known power cycles. Several advantageous applications of the dual-function cycle are outlined, including turbine-inlet-cooling plus power in distributed generation, solar or geothermal heated applications, and process-cooling plus power in industrial applications. The absorption cycle can be directly integrated with industrial process streams or with prime movers such as turbines, fuel cells, and reciprocating engines. The mix of power and refrigeration is easily adjusted to meet seasonal requirements for cooling or power.
