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.

Abstract An investigation of the best ways to achieve optimal performance from a waste-heat-driven ammonia-water absorption heat pump over a wide range of operating conditions is presented. Waste-heat is recovered using an exhaust gas heat exchanger and delivered to the desorber by a heat transfer fluid loop. The absorber and condenser are hydronically coupled in parallel to an ambient heat exchanger for heat rejection. The evaporator provides chilled water for space-conditioning with a baseline cooling capacity of 2 kW. A detailed thermodynamics model is developed to simulate performance and develop strategies to achieve the best performance in both cooling and heating modes over a range of operating conditions. These parametric studies show that improved coefficients of performance can be achieved by adjusting the coupling fluid temperatures in the evaporator and the condenser/absorber as the ambient temperature varies. With the varying return temperatures, the system is able to provide the 2 kW design cooling capacity for a wide range of ambient temperatures.

Recovery System

Condensing boiler for flue gas waste heat recovery is widely used in industries. In order to gain a portion of the sensible heat and latent heat of the vapor in the flue gas, the flue gas is cooled by return water of district heating through a condensation heat exchanger which is located at the end of flue. At low ambient air temperature, some boilers utilize the air pre-heater, which makes air be heated before entering the boiler, and also recovers part of the waste heat of flue gas. However, there are some disadvantages for these technologies. For the former one, the low temperature of the return water is required while the utilization of flue gas heat for the latter one is very limited. A new flue gas condensing heat recovery system is developed, in which direct contact heat exchanger and absorption heat pump are integrated with the gas boiler to recover condensing heat, even the temperature of the return water is so low that the latent heat of vapor in the flue gas could not be recovered directly by the general condensing technologies. Direct contact condensation occurs when vapor in the flue gas contacts and condenses on cold liquid directly. Due to the absence of a solid boundary between the phases, transport processes at the phase interface are much more efficient and quite different from condensation phenomena on a solid surface. Additionally, the surface heat exchanger tends to be more bulky and expensive. In this study, an experimental platform of the new system is built, and a variety of experimental conditions are carried out. Through the analysis of the experimental data and operational state, the total thermal efficiency of the platform will be increased 3.9%, and the system is reliable enough to be popularized.
