The thermal energy requirements for air conditioning by compressive and absorption methods were determined for light-water, thermal-breeder, and fast-breeder reactors. The energy required to produce a ton-hour of refrigeration varied from 5100 Btu to 13,100 Btu by absorption and from 5600 to 8800 Btu by compression. The amount of waste heat dissipated to the environment at the reactor site as a consequence of producing a ton-hour of air conditioning ranged from an increase of 21,000 Btu for the electric-motor-driven refrigeration system to a decrease of 6000 Btu for the absorption refrigeration system.

Absorption Refrigeration System

The absorption thermal energy storage (TES) system stores the energy in the form of potential energy of solution and is a promising technology for efficient energy transformation process. The performance of the absorption refrigeration system with integral storage for cooling applications using LiBr-H2O as working pair under the condition without crystallization was analyzed on the basis of the first law of thermodynamics. Simulation was employed to determine the coefficient of performance (COP) and energy storage density (ESD) of the absorption TES system under different conditions such as the absorption temperature and storage temperature. The results show that the COP of the system is 0.7453 and ESD is 169.853 MJ/m3 under typical operation conditions in summer. A low absorption temperature yields both a higher COP and ESD. The solution heat exchanger could improve the COP of the system while has no effect on ESD. Results also showed that system has a good advantage when compared to other storage methods since it is do no need thermal insulation. The absorption TES may be considered as one of the promising thermal energy storage methods.

A Performance

Trigeneration or combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) systems fueled by raw biogas can be an interesting alternative for supplying electricity and thermal services in remote rural areas where biogas can be produced without requiring sophisticated equipment. In this sense, this study considers a performance analysis of a novel small-scale CCHP system where a biogas-fired, 5 kWel externally fired microturbine (EFMT), an absorption refrigeration system (ARS) and heat exchangers are integrated for supplying electricity, refrigeration and hot water demanded by Bolivian small dairy farms. The CCHP solution presents two cases, current and nominal states, in which experimental and design data of the EFMT performance were considered, respectively. The primary energy/exergy rate was used as a performance indicator. The proposed cases show better energy performances than those of reference fossil fuel-based energy solutions (where energy services are produced separately) allowing savings in primary energy utilization of up to 31%. Furthermore, improvements in electric efficiency of the EFMT and coefficient of performance (COP) of the ARS, identified as key variables of the system, allow primary energy savings of up to 37%. However, to achieve these values in real conditions, more research and development of the technologies involved is required, especially for the EFMT.

Diffusion Absorption

Compared with the gas-compressed refrigeration system, the diffusion absorption refrigeration cycle has no moving part and the associated noise and vibration. It can be operated without any electric input and driven by various energy sources, has no the problem of the substitute of CFC, furthermore it has positive significance in energy conservation, off peak, environmental protection, and promoting the use of gas. So it has broad application prospects as a kind of absorption refrigeration mode. In the development of diffusion absorption refrigeration technology, the performance of diffusion absorption refrigeration system has been improved and enhanced continuously. The paper presents and discusses the recent research progress of diffusion absorption refrigeration which contains design of bubble pump, adjustment and optimization of operation parameters, utilization of low-grade thermal energy and selection of working medium. The research direction of diffusion absorption refrigeration in the future is suggested.
