UTILIZATION OF THERMAL ENERGY FOR INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION.

Author(s) : HOLLDORFF G., MALEWSKI W.

Summary

ABSORPTION SYSTEMS ARE ABLE TO USE HEAT AS MAIN INPUT. THIS ALLOWS AN EFFECTIVE HEAT RECOVERY WHERE REFRIGERATION IS REQUIRED AND WASTE HEAT IS AVAILABLE. TWO WORKING PAIRS HAVE ACHIEVED WORLDWIDE APPLICATION: WATER-LITHIUM BROMIDE, WELL PROVEN FOR WATER CHILLING BUT LIMITED TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 273 K (0 DEG C), AND THE AMMONIA-WATER SYSTEM FOR TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 213 K (-60 DEG C). THE BASIC PROCESS IS EXPLAINED TOGETHER WITH PROCESS VARIANTS FOR THE OPTIMUM ADAPTATION TO REFRIGERATION DEMANDS AND/OR TO THE SOURCES. A FURTHER INCENTIVE FOR THE AMMONIA ABSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEM ARE ITS OPERATIONAL FEATURES: EXCELLENT AVAILABILITY, PART-LOAD BEHAVIOUR AND FLEXIBILITY SUPERIOR TO MOST MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS.
