Small Modular Lead-based Reactor (SMLR) has generated great interest in academic research all around the world due to its good safety characteristics and relatively high core outlet temperature. In this paper, a Combined Cooling Heating and Power (CCHP) system with usage of absorption heat pump, which couples with a SMLR, was proposed to fulfill the energy demands in remote areas. Thermodynamic analysis was implemented to improve the performance of the CCHP system based on SMLR. To meet the remote areas’ energy needs, the main parameters and mass flow rate of a 35 MWth SMLR design were analyzed. The SMLR CCHP with absorption heat pump system can provide electric power 12.5MWe, heating 9.5MWh, and cooling 2.54MWc. The total energy utilization efficiency of the system can be 69.12 %. This work can provide a reference in the design and optimization of the CCHP system to meet the energy demands in the remote areas.

It is well known that combined heating and power (CHP) generation permits the energy of the fuel to be more efficiently than electric and thermal separate generation. The paper deals with natural gas CHP system with a 70kWe gas-powered internal combustion engine (ICE), which has been set up at the Tsinghua University energy-saving building, in Beijing, China. The system is composed of an ICE, a flue gas heat exchanger and other heat exchangers. The conventional system’s characteristics is that the gas engine generates power on-site, and the exhaust of the gas engine is recovered by a high temperature flue gas-water heat exchanger, and the jacket water heat is recovered by a water-water heat exchanger to supply heat for district heating system. In order to improve the system’s performance, an innovative system with absorption heat pump is adopted. The exhaust of the gas engine drives an absorption heat pump to recover the flue gas sensible heat and further recover the latent heat, so the outlet temperature of the exhaust could be lowered to 50°C. In this paper, the electrical and thermal performance of the innovative system were tested and compared with conventional cogeneration systems. The test and comparison results show that the innovative CHP system could increase the heat utilization efficiency 10% in winter. All the results provide important insight into CHP performance characteristics and could be valuable references for CHP system’s improvements.

The ionic liquid butylmethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (bmim)(PF6) and five different hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants were investigated as the working fluid pairs for a waste-heat driven absorption heat pump system for possible applications in electronics thermal management. A significant amount of the energy consumed in large electronic systems is used for cooling, resulting in low grade waste heat, which can be used to drive an absorption refrigeration system if a suitable working fluids can be identified. The Redlich–Kwong-type equation of state was used to model the thermodynamic conditions and the binary mixture properties at the corresponding states. The effects of desorber and absorber temperatures, waste-heat quality, and system design on the heat pump performance were investigated. Supporting experiments using R134a/(bmim)(PF6) as the working fluid pair were performed. Desorber and absorber outlet temperatures were varied by adjusting the desorber supply power and the coolant temperature at the evaporator inlet, respectively. For an evaporator temperature of 41 °C, which is relevant to electronics cooling applications, the maximum cooling-to-total-energy input was 0.35 with the evaporator cooling capability of 36 W and the desorber outlet temperature in the range of 50 to 110 °C.

The feasibility of a Natural Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) was investigated through the use of a technology screening tool developed in Excel and TRNSYS simulations that used experimentally evaluated performance curves using 50% propylene glycol (PG)/water solution. The Excel tool was used for cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions analysis and indicated that the GAHP was cost effective compared to an Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP) in locations where the primary heating fuel was natural gas and had significantly lower GHG emissions compared to a 90% efficient natural gas furnace. During the heating season, it was found that the system only had more than 100% heating Gas Utilization Efficiency (GUE) at -1.5°C or above and would go as low at 66% GUE at nominal flow and return temperatures. Part load performance was analyzed using experimental data and implemented in a TRNSYS model. The TRNSYS model shows significant losses from part load performance and 50% PG/water derating for both heating and cooling season due to excessive cycling.

Abstract Absorption system have been investigated for many years. However, coefficient of performance COP or heat gain factor HGF for absorption systems are significantly lower than those for conventional compression systems. This has restricted their wide application. This paper discusses the behavior of mixture NH3-H2O through of an ejector, operating in an absorption heat pump system. This combination improves the performance of conventional absorption system and with the phasing out of ozone-damaging refrigerants, absorption refrigerators, heat pumps and air-conditioning now provide a potential alternative. For the detailed calculation of the proposed system a method has been developed, which employs analytical functions describing the thermodynamic properties of die mixture. The influence of three major parameters: generator, condenser and evaporator temperature, on ejector efficiency and heat gain factor of the system is discussed. Also the maximum value of HGF was estimated by correlation of above three temperatures.

In recent years, with the continuous urban expansion, the central heating sources are commonly insufficient in the areas of Northern China. Besides, the increasing heat transfer temperature difference results in more and more exergy loss between the primary heat network and the secondary heat network. This paper introduces a new central heating system which combines the urban heat network with geothermal energy (CHSCHNGE). In this system, the absorption heat exchange unit, which is composed of an absorption heat pump and a water to water heat exchanger, is as alternative to the conventional water to water heat exchanger at the heat exchange station, and the doing work ability of the primary heat network is utilized to drive the absorption heat pump to extract the shallow geothermal energy. In this way, the heat supply ability of the system will be increased with fewer additional energy consumptions. Since the water after driving the absorption heat pump has high temperature, it can continue to heat the supply water coming from the absorption heat pump. As a result, the water of the primary heat network will be stepped cooled and the exergy loss will be reduced. In this study, the performance of the system is simulated based on the mathematical models of the heat source, the absorption heat exchange unit, the ground heat exchanger and the room. The thermodynamic analyses are performed for three systems and the energy efficiency and exergy efficiency are compared. The results show that (a) the COP of the absorption heat exchange unit is 1.25 and the heating capacity of the system increases by 25%, which can effectively reduce the requirements of central heating sources; (b) the PER of the system increases 14.4% more than that of the conventional co-generation central heating system and 54.1% more than that of the ground source heat pump system; (c) the exergy efficiency of the CHSCHNGE is 17.6% higher than that of the conventional co-generation central heating system and 45.6% higher than that of the ground source heat pump system.

The experimental data demonstrate that the cooling capacity and EER of the system increases with increasing outlet cooling water temperatures and decreases with increasing outdoor environment temperatures. In addition, the correlation of the system EER is calculated by using the least square method based on the experimental data.
