Integration of solar-assisted cooling and freezing into a micro-brewery process using a hybrid vapour-compression/sorption system.
Number: 0165
Author(s) : JAKOB U., KOHLENBACH P., WEISS M., WEISS W.
Summary
This paper describes the investigation into the design, performance, and economics of solar-assisted cooling processes/applications in a micro-brewery in California, USA. A solar assisted hybrid vapour-compression/sorption system supplies not only cold to maturing tanks, cold liquor tanks and walk-in freezers at temperatures below 0°C, but also to walk-in coolers and air-conditioning at standard chilled-water temperatures. It consists of two hybrid chillers, each a combination of R290 vapour-compression and silica gel adsorption chiller. The system has a combined cooling capacity of 70 kWr. Excess solar thermal energy from the solar thermal collector field with 412 m2 absorber area is used for further heat requirements in the brewing process, such as heating hot liquor tanks and cleaning. Approximately 431 MWhth per year thermal energy are required for the heating and cooling applications at the micro-brewery case study. In addition, the solar fraction is 66% and the payback time of the system is 6.2 years.
