The influence of adsorption chillers on CHP power plants

The simultaneous production of electricity, heat and cooling, the so-called trigeneration, allows for substantial savings in the chemical energy of fuels. More efficient use of the primary energy contained in fuels translates into tangible earnings for power plants while reductions in the amounts of fuel burned, and of non-renewable resources in particular, certainly have a favourable impact on the natural environment. The main aim of the above-described project was to analyse the influence of use adsorption contacted to conventional CHP power plant. An adsorption chiller is an item of industrial equipment that is driven by low grade heat and intended to produce chilled water and desalinated water. Adsorption chillers ACH can by used for utilization heat from many industrial process where temperature medium is too low for use absorption chillers. In this article modelled the cycle of a conventional heat power plant integrated with an adsorption chiller-based plant. Multi-variant simulation calculations were performed using IPSEpro simulation software.
