Simulation of an absorption chiller driven by heat recovery from an internal-combustion engine.

Summary

In this study, a previous cycle analysis (Lazzarin et al. 2000) of a water-lithium bromide absorption chiller, driven by the heat recovery on an internal-combustion engine, has been implemented by a specific simulation code of all the different devices of the absorption machine. The thermal energy recovered from the internal-combustion engine exhaust is used to drive a double effect water-lithium bromide cycle, while the heat recovered from the cooling jacket of the engine drives a single effect water-lithium bromide cycle. The two absorption cycles were integrated into a single unit with a common evaporator and absorber. The system was analysed in the typical operative range of air conditioning chillers.
