- the applications of the invention are numerous, among which mention may be made of the field of stationary systems, with heat sources such as heat discharges from industrial processes, solar thermal, biomass, geothermal energy, gas turbines.
- This problem is particularly significant for the mobility sector because it is responsible for a large part of the energy consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases both for the propulsion itself and for the on-board systems (cold).
- thermodynamic cycle as such can, alone, achieve all of these functionalities.
- Ammonia-water absorption systems have advantages that have already been clearly identified, such as allowing negative temperatures to be reached as well as the use of pressures higher than ambient, compared to H 2 O-LiBr absorption cycles. Furthermore, such systems do not include any fluid that could contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer or to the increase of the greenhouse effect, as is the case with most organic fluids used in refrigeration.

- the ejector according to the invention makes it possible to increase the flow rate passing through the cold part of the working fluid circuit, and therefore the cold power produced, while maintaining good electrical production efficiency (function D/).
- the D0/ function is ensured by changing the section of the ejector so as to optimize its performance for each operating condition.
- component C1 fluidically connected to component C2 is synonymous with “C1 is in fluid connection with C2” does not necessarily mean that there is no member between C1 and C2.
- the expressions "arranged on” or “on” are synonymous with “fluidly connected to”.
- the set of adjustment valves which operate in on/off mode to carry out the various operations of the system according to the invention described with reference to the figures 1 to 5 is not designated by a reference numeral.
- a valve considered when a valve considered is in an off state to carry out one of the operations of the system, it is indicated by the symbol in the form of a cross in the figure considered.
- direct exchange or direct coupling is meant that the exchange of thermal energy takes place directly without any intermediate circuit or component.

- a heat source preferably a low temperature heat source advantageously between 70° C. and 150° C., such as waste heat, which may be fluctuating, such as a solar source or waste heat linked to the start-up of a heat engine or intermittent industrial waste.
- An absorption machine uses as a working solution a binary mixture, one of the components of which is more volatile than the other, and constitutes the refrigerant.
- the refrigerant/absorbent working solution is preferably the ammonia/water (NH 3 /H 2 O) couple.
- the concentrations of the working fluid and the absorbent in the working solution are adapted to the pressure and the temperature of the air treatment and lower than the crystallization concentration of the solution.
- the NH 3 /H 2 O couple can be used for air conditioning applications, but also for refrigeration and there is no possible crystallization on the operating ranges in pressure and temperature.
- this couple the difference in vapor pressure between the absorbent and the refrigerant is low. There are therefore traces of water taken away with the ammonia vapor at the outlet of the generator 1 sometimes requiring the presence of a rectifier 13.
- the absorption machine comprises a set of four main exchangers, namely a generator 1, a condenser 2, an evaporator 3 and absorber 4, and preferably at least one secondary exchanger.
- the absorption machine further comprises at least one solution pump 9 and an expansion valve 10 of a loop 11 and an expansion valve 12.
- the machine operates at three temperature levels: a low temperature level corresponding to the production of cold at the evaporator 3, an intermediate temperature level corresponding to the temperature of condensation of the refrigerant fluid, but also to that of absorption of the refrigerant fluid by the absorbent and a high temperature level corresponding to the driving temperature of the generator 1.
- the absorption machine comprises a fluidic absorption circuit 100 configured to ensure the fluidic connection of the various components of the system and in particular of the absorption machine.
- the absorption fluidic circuit 100 is a closed circuit intended to receive the working solution.
- the absorption machine operates at high pressure between pump 9 upstream of generator 1 and expansion valve 12, downstream of condenser 2, and at low pressure between expansion valve 2, downstream of condenser 2 and pump 9 upstream of generator 1.
- the generator also commonly called desorber 1 allows the heat exchange between the heat source and the working fluid.
- a generator 1 therefore comprises a hot source inlet and outlet, not shown, allowing the supply of heat necessary for the vaporization of the refrigerant of the working solution.
- Generator 1 is fluidically connected to condenser 2 and absorber 4.
- an economizer 8 described below is arranged between generator 1 and absorber 4 to allow the entry of the so-called rich working solution into the generator 1 and the exit of the so-called lean working solution from the generator 1.
- the expansion valve 10 allows the pressure of the lean working solution to be released before it is transmitted to the absorber 4.
- a rectifier 13 is arranged between the generator 1 and the condenser 2.
- the rectifier 13 possibly makes it possible to rectify the working solution, by removing by condensation the traces of water entrained with the working fluid.
- the condenser 2 makes it possible to reject heat from the working fluid towards a source at intermediate temperature, by condensing the vapor of refrigerant fluid.
- Condenser 2 is fluidically connected to generator 1 and to evaporator 3.
- the fluidic connection between generator 1 and condenser 2 allows the entry of refrigerant vapor into the latter.
- the expansion valve 12 brings the refrigerant to its evaporation pressure and therefore allows the exit from the condenser 2 of the refrigerant in the liquid state.
- Condenser 2 also includes a cooling source such as air circulation to ensure its normal operation.
- the phase change of the refrigerant from the vapor state to the liquid state is accompanied by a release of heat which is transmitted for example to the circulating air flow.
- the heated air is exhausted from the system.
- the sub-cooler 6 is arranged between the condenser 2 and the evaporator 3, and between the evaporator 3 and the absorber 4, and makes it possible to sub-cool the refrigerant at the inlet of the evaporator 3 and to preheat the refrigerant in the vapor state at the outlet of the evaporator 3.
- the sub-cooler 6 therefore makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the condenser 2 and of the evaporator 3 and thus significantly improve the performance of the machine.
- the expansion valve 12 is arranged between the sub-cooler 6 and the evaporator 3.
- the evaporator 3 makes it possible to take heat from the cold source in order to vaporize the refrigerant fluid.
- the evaporator 3 is fluidly connected to the condenser 2 and to the absorber 4.
- the phase change of the refrigerant from the liquid state to the vapor state within the evaporator 3 is accompanied by a transmission of heat from the hot source to the outlet of the the evaporator 3, to the refrigerant.
- This hot source transmits calories and thus sees its temperature drop.
- the evaporator 3 is the location for the production of cold temperatures.
- the absorber 4 makes it possible to exchange calories between the working fluid and a source at intermediate temperature, to condense the refrigerant vapor coming from the evaporator 3.
- the absorber 4 is fluidically connected to the evaporator 3 and to the generator 1 by the loop 11.
- the pump 9 of this loop 11 makes it possible to circulate the working solution in the circuit 100. More precisely, the pump 9 is intended to circulate the rich working solution from the absorber 4 in the direction of the generator 1. The pump 9 consumes little electricity.
- the pump 9 is fluidically connected to the economizer 8 through which the rich working solution is heated before being transmitted to the generator 1.
- the economizer 8 transmits heat from the lean solution coming from the generator 1 to the rich solution coming from the absorber 4.
- the absorber 4 is fluidly connected to the generator 1 to allow the entry of the lean working solution coming from the generator 1 into the absorber 4 .
- the expansion valve 10 is arranged between the generator 1 and the absorber 4.
- the phase change of the refrigerant from the vapor state to the liquid state is accompanied by a release of heat which is transmitted to a cooling source such as an air flow.
- the heated air is exhausted from the system.
- a supersonic turbine 5 as an expander driving a generator is arranged between the generator 1 and the absorber 4, by-passing the condenser 2 and the evaporator 3.
- This supersonic turbine 5 has a reduced leakage rate and it guarantees the efficiency of the electrical production.
- a single or variable-section ejector 50 is arranged to continuously increase cold production while maintaining the efficiency of electrical production.
- the ejector 50 can be simple or with variable section, as detailed below.
- a simple ejector 50 is optimized for a given ratio between cold production and electricity production (function D/), while a variable section ejector 50 allows very precise and efficient regulation for all the ratios between electricity production and cold production (function D0/).
- the hydraulic connection allows the entry of the refrigerant in the vapor state from the generator 1 directly into the turbine 5 or indirectly, in bypass mode through the ejector 50.
- a superheater 7 is arranged between the generator 1 and the turbine 5, preferably between the ejector 50 and the turbine to allow an additional heat exchange between a hot source, not shown, and the working fluid in order to obtain better quality steam at the inlet of the turbine 5.
- the turbine 5 is fluidly connected to the absorber 4 to allow the exit of the refrigerant in the state of expanded vapor from the turbine 5 to the absorber 4 according to a mode of production of electrical energy.
- the exchanger 14 is arranged on a fluidic line 15 branching from the fluidic connection between the evaporator 3 and the absorber 4. This fluidic line 15 is connected to the secondary fluid injector (driven) of the ejector 50.
- the exchanger 14 makes it possible to heat the secondary fluid before it enters the ejector 50.
- the supersonic turbine 5 is advantageously connected to an electric generator which makes it possible to transform the mechanical energy recovered by the turbine 5 into electricity by producing an electric power W turb .
- the supersonic turbine 5 is configured to allow electrical production greater than 100 kWe, that is to say medium power or even high power of 1 MWe.
- the system according to the invention further comprises a module for managing the circulation of the working solution within the circuit 100 and the various components of the system which have just been described.
- the management module is configured to set system operating conditions based on power requirements and source fluctuations, as detailed below. It can be a production of cold alone, or the production of electrical energy, or a co-production of cold and electrical energy, depending on the temperatures of the sources, the price of electricity, etc.
- This management module comprises the adjustment valves (on/off valves not shown), the two expansion valves 10, 12, the opening of which is adjustable and a control unit which controls the speed of the pump 9, in order to allow fine adjustment of the circulation flow rates of the working solution and the refrigerant for the implementation of the system operation modes according to the fluctuation of the hot source or the needs.
- the system and the management module according to the invention have the advantage of being compact, advantageously requiring only a few additional components such as valves, possibly temperature and pressure sensors, which reduces the costs and the bulk allowing the system according to the invention to be used in mobile applications.
- the working solution circulation management module initiates circulation of the working solution in a conventional absorption cycle. To do this, the module closes the adjustment valves on the fluidic line on either side of the ejector 50 and the turbine 5 as well as on the bypass line 15 upstream of the exchanger 14. The function A/ is thus performed.
- the refrigerant in the working solution leaves generator 1 and passes through rectifier 13 before arriving in condenser 2.
- the refrigerant leaves condenser 2 to pass through subcooler 6, and expansion valve 12, before arriving in evaporator 3.
- the refrigerant leaves evaporator 3 to pass through subcooler 6 before arriving in absorber 4.
- the refrigerant gene is absorbed by the absorbent and the so-called rich working solution emerges from the absorber 4 to circulate in the loop 11.
- the rich working solution successively passes through the pump 9 and the economizer 8 before arriving in the generator 1.
- the lean working solution leaves the generator 1 to pass successively through the economizer 8 and the expansion valve 10 before arriving in the absorber 4.
- the production of cold thus takes place at the level of the evaporator 3 during the evaporation of the refrigerant which is accompanied by a cooling of the hot source.
- the cooled hot source can then be used for example for air conditioning.
- the working solution circulation management module triggers circulation of the working solution following a Rankine cycle, more specifically a Kalina cycle. To do this, the module closes the adjustment valves on the fluidic line on either side of the ejector 50, on the fluidic line between the generator 1 and the rectifier 13 downstream of the bypass of the turbine line 5 as well as on the line between the evaporator 3 and the absorber 4 upstream of the bypass of the turbine line 5. The function B/ is thus performed.
- the refrigerant in the working solution leaves the generator 1 and crosses the superheater 7 before arriving in the turbine 5.
- the refrigerant leaves the turbine 5 to emerge in the absorber 4.
- the refrigerant is absorbed by the absorbent and the rich working solution leaves the absorber 4 to cross the loop 11 as described with reference to picture 2 before returning to generator level 1. Electricity is produced by turbine 5 connected to an electric generator.
- the working solution circulation management module initiates circulation of the working solution through an absorption cycle and a power generation cycle. To do this, the module only closes the adjustment valves on the fluidic line on either side of the ejector 50. The function C/ is thus performed. Due to the implementation of a supersonic turbine 5, the flow rate is a function of the upstream-downstream pressure jump and thus the ratio between the cold and electrical powers produced is fixed and cannot be changed.
- the refrigerant of the working solution is directed partially towards the part of the circuit 100 implementing a cold production cycle and partially towards the other part implementing an electricity production cycle.
- Part of the refrigerant at the outlet of generator 1 is diverted to supersonic turbine 5 while the other part circulates to condenser 2 by crossing rectifier 13 upstream.
- the refrigerant leaves condenser 2 to cross sub-cooler 6 and expansion valve 12 before arriving in evaporator 3.
- the refrigerant is absorbed by the absorbent and the rich working solution leaves the absorber 4 to circulate in the loop 11 and therefore successively passes through the pump 9, the economizer 8 before arriving in the generator 1.
- the lean working solution leaves the generator 1 to pass successively through the economizer 8 and the expansion valve 10 before arriving in the absorber 4.
- the part of the refrigerant passing through the supersonic turbine 5 passes through the superheater 7 upstream.
- the refrigerant then emerges compressed from the turbine 5 to emerge in the absorber 4.
- the refrigerant coming from the turbine 5 and the refrigerant coming from the evaporator 3 are mixed before passing through the loop 11.
- the refrigerant is absorbed by the absorbent and the rich working solution leaves the absorber 4 to circulate in the loop 11 comprising the economizer 8, the pump 9 and the expansion valve 10 as described above.
- the production of cold takes place at the level of the evaporator 3 during the evaporation of the refrigerant fluid which is accompanied by a cooling of the hot source.
- the cooled hot source can then be used for example for air conditioning.
- the electricity is produced by the supersonic turbine 5 connected to an electric generator.
- the working solution circulation management module initiates circulation of the working solution according to an absorption cycle and a power generation cycle with a ratio between the two. To do this, the module only closes the adjustment valves on the fluidic line branching off from that of the ejector 50 between the generator 1 and the turbine 5: thus all the working fluid necessarily passes through the ejector 50 before leading to the supersonic turbine 5.
- the function D/ and preferably D0/ are thus achieved.
- the ejector 50 makes it possible to increase the flow rate passing through the cold part of the circuit 100, and therefore the cold power produced, while maintaining good efficiency in the production of electricity by the turbine 5.
- the function D0/ is ensured by changing the section of the ejector with variable neck section so as to optimize its performance for each operating condition.
- the refrigerant of the working solution is directed partially towards the part of the circuit 100 implementing a cold production cycle and partially towards the other part implementing an electricity production cycle.
- Part of the refrigerant leaving the generator 1 is diverted to the supersonic turbine 5 while the other part circulates to the condenser 2 by crossing the rectifier 13 upstream.
- the refrigerant leaves the condenser 2 to cross the sub-cooler 6 and the expansion valve 12 before arriving in the evaporator 3.
- the refrigerant leaves the evaporator 3 to cross the sub-cooler 6.
- the refrigerant is absorbed by the absorbent and the rich working solution leaves the absorber 4 to circulate in the loop 11 and therefore successively passes through the pump 9, the economizer 8 before arriving in the generator 1.
- the lean working solution leaves the generator 1 to pass successively through the economizer 8 and the expansion valve 10 before arriving in the absorber 4.
- the part of the refrigerant passing through the supersonic turbine 5 necessarily passes upstream through the ejector 50 which increases the flow rate and then the superheater 7. The refrigerant then comes out compressed from the turbine 5 to emerge in the absorber 4.
- the refrigerant coming from the turbine 5 and the refrigerant coming from the evaporator 3 are mixed before passing through the loop 11.
- the refrigerant is absorbed by the absorbent and the rich working solution leaves the absorber 4 to circulate in the loop 11 comprising the economizer 8, the pump 9 and the expansion valve 10 as described above.
- the increased cold production compared to the figure 4 takes place at the level of the evaporator 3 during the evaporation of the refrigerant which is accompanied by a cooling of the hot source.
- the cooled hot source can then be used for example for air conditioning.
- the electricity is produced by the supersonic turbine 5 connected to an electric generator.
- Tables 1 and 2 below illustrate the performances that can be achieved with this example of a typical configuration for the operating modes allowing functions A/ to D0 to be performed, case 3 being the comparative one
- COP Qhot Wturb + wpump
- Qchaud is the power
- Q ⁇ des delivered by the heat source at the level of the generator 1 in the form of heat
- Wturb the electric power delivered by the turbine 5
- Wpump the electric power consumed by the pump 9.
