Summary

Large diesel engines are well suited for power generation in remote areas, their high thermal efficiency and relative insensitivity to high ambient temperatures make them suitable for use in desert and tropical climates. The exhaust gases from such installations represent a significant amount of thermal energy that can be put to beneficial use. The paper explores the utilisation of the exhaust gases from a turbocharged and intercooled engine as an energy input to a vapour absorption refrigeration machine that is used primarily to cool the engine charge air in an intercooler. The influence of the engine configuration and performance parameters on the performance of an ideal system is investigated.
