Abstract

The performance of microturbine CHP system equipped with an absorption chiller was analyzed by modelling of a microturbine and an absorption chiller. The microturbine having recuperator was simulated by the Brayton cycle model. The mass flow rate and available heat energy of the exhaust gas from the microtubune were simulated, and this results were utilized as input values for the generator of the absorption chiller. The absorption chiller is a single-effect air cooled type having solution heat exchanger. When heat input to the generator increased, the heat transfer rate and UA of the heat exchangers of the absorption chiller proportionally increased. Besides, the COP of the absorption chiller increased with increase of the heat input to the generator under the sufficient size of the evaporator condition. When the capacity of the CHP system increased from 30 to 60 kW, the mass flow rate of the LiBr for the absorption chiller increased by two times, and UA values for evaporator and condenser were increased by 3.9 and 3.4 times, respectively, under the same COP condition.
