Popis: Absorption cycles cogenerating cooling and power are anticipated to show favorable performances compared to separate generation systems. Through several models and a few prototypes, different studies validated the ability of cogeneration cycles to work with low-grade heat (lower than 200 °C). The present work aims to characterize and optimize a water-ammonia based cogeneration system of small capacity (cooling production: 5 kW, electricity production: 1 kW). Firstly, an accurate model of a scroll expander is implemented in a complete cogeneration cycle to simulate the power production. The effects on the expander of both the water/ammonia fraction and temperature of the expanded fluid are analyzed, providing a better understanding of the impacts of the rectifier and of the super-heater on the global cycle performances. Secondly, to foresee the cycle performance, a dual-objective optimization algorithm maximizes both cooling and power production according to variable temperature sources. Finally, the dynamic behavior of the cycle is investigated through transient simulations. Such complex systems present significant inertia when starting or switching from one production mode to another (between cooling and power). This study provides some insight on the most critical elements of the cycle.
