Summary

In this context, a two-stage absorption-transcritical hybrid refrigeration system is proposed. R744 is chosen as a refrigerant for the transcritical heat pump subsystem and LiBr-H2O working pair for the two-stage absorption refrigeration subsystem. Based on the mathematical and physical models, theoretical investigation is carried out on its performance. The main effects are discussed on COPnet (the ratio of cooling capacity powered by low-grade heat to the low-grade heat consumption for the hybrid system) and COPmt (the ratio of cooling capacity powered by mechanical work to the mechanical work consumption for the hybrid system). Comparing with the normal two-stage absorption refrigeration system, theoretical results show that COPnet could be improved up to about 55% when the refrigeration temperature is 7°C. In addition, COPmt are more than 50% higher than that of the conventional transcritical refrigeration system. It is also found that both 45–55°C low-grade heat and condensing heat could be used as actuating heat of the two-stage absorption refrigeration subsystem.
