1. Introduction of Absorption Chillers Lineup of absorption chillers (1) Direct Fired Triple Effect Direct Fired Double Effect Direct Fired COP=1.73 1.2 Series 1.3 Series 1.4 Series 160~340RT 80~700RT 80~700RT 80~700RT Steam Double Effect Steam Fired 3.9 Series 3.7 Series 80~700RT 600~2600RT COP is based on LHV Heat Input
1. Introduction of Absorption Chillers Lineup of absorption chillers (2) Single Effect Hot Water Driven 40~240RT Double Effect Steam Fired 80~700RT Gene-Link Double Effect Hot Water + Gas COP=1.2 COP=1.4 80~70RT 80~630RT Gene-Link Triple Effect Hot Water + Gas COP=1.73 145~310RT COP is based on LHV Heat Input
2. Triple Effect Absorption Chiller Single, Double, Triple Effect Absorption Chiller Achievement of higher efficiency with multi-stage of generator (by higher temp. & press. of HTG) 2. Middle Temp. Generator 1 1. High Temp. Generator (over atmospheric pressure ) (under atmospheric pressure) 3. Low Temp. Generator (under atmospheric pressure) to Condenser 1 1 Heat Fuel 1 Weak Solution from Absorber to Condenser Strong Solution to Absorber
2. Triple Effect Absorption Chiller Operation Cycle for Triple Effect Absorption Chiller Body of Double Effect SAC Once-through Boiler typed HTG Diagram of Reverse Cycle Pressure HTG Atmospheric pressure MTG Vacuum LTG P Absorber P P Concentration of Solution
2. Triple Effect Absorption Chiller Characteristic of Partial Load (in cooling mode) 2.0 1.8 Triple Effect LHV) COP (L C OP 1.6 1.4 Double Effect(High efficient) Double Effect(Basic Type) 1.2 1.0 0 20 40 60 80 100 L oad R ate(%) Load Rate (%)
3. Solar Cooling Application The efficiency of Solar Thermal is better than that of Photovoltaic. Efficiency of Solar Energy Photovoltaic : 10% < Solar Thermal : 40% (in case of utilizing Hot Water) From HP of NEDO http://app2.infoc.nedo.go.jp/kaisetsu/neg/neg02/index.html#elmtop
3. Solar Cooling Application Conventional System Cooling tower From NEDO/HP Collector Storage tank Cool wind 14 1. 2. 3. Back-up Boiler Absorption chiller Chilled water Complicated system with a boiler for the back-up of hot water supply Complicated control system to adjust hot water supply in accordance with the fluctuation of load and solar heat Low efficiency of absorption chiller(single effect)
3. Solar Cooling Application Absorption Chiller(Combined) Single & Double Effect 15 1. 2. 3. Absorption chiller has a back-up system and no boiler Absorption chiller is automatically moved to combustion for the stable supply of chilled water High efficiency of absorption chiller (Double Effect)
3. Solar Cooling Application Reduction of fuel consumption Fuel gas reduction rate: 32% (at the rated point): Can be operated by 55% load with only solar hot water Lowest temperature of solar hot water supplied to the chiller: 75 degc Solar Collector Solar Absorption Chiller-Heater With Hot Water Fuel gas Without Hot reduction rate: Supply Hot Water: Water 32% Min. 75 degc Fuel Gas Consumption 55% Can be operated with only solar hot water Cooling Load Heat Exchanger Supply Hot Water:60degC for Heating HEATING (Backup) COOLING Fuel Gas
3. Solar Cooling Application Solar Cooling System Solar Heat Collector (evacuated tube type) Solar Chiller Air conditioning for this office
