The feasibility of ammonia-water absorption refrigeration for fishing vessels.

Author(s) : PERANIC J., BOZUNOVIC A., PAVKOVIC B.

Summary

The ammonia compression refrigeration system and the ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system powered by the heat recovered from engine exhaust gasses are designed and compared with an example of seawater refrigeration for medium-sized fishing boats. It has been shown in this paper that the single-stage absorption refrigeration plant can achieve better results in energy efficiency and in terms of environmental impact. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that even lower total costs of the absorption system compared to a compression system can be achieved for the analyzed application. Drawbacks of absorption systems, such as high mass and volume do not allow wide application but they can be overcome by further research in absorption system optimization.
