Effect of operating variables on performance of an absorption chiller driven by heat from municipal solid waste incineration
This study presents an experimental analysis for a lithium-bromide/water waste steam driven parallel flow double effect absorption chiller evaluation. The absorption chiller analyzed is allocated at Bali refuse incineration plant for air conditioning system. This unit can supply a cooling capacity [400 USRT], [1406 kW]. A set of mathematical equations have been developed to estimate coefficient of performance (COP) of the chiller for each component. Theoretical analysis shows that increasing of the low temperature and high temperature
heat exchangers effectiveness, decreasing temperature of absorber and condenser, increasing temperature of high pressure generator, and increase loading factor of the system improved the COP. The entire cycle is optimized by Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software from the standpoint of maximizing the COP via applying the direct experimental method. The optimization result of COP is obtained by the thermodynamic cycle.
