Description

COABSORBENT CYCLES HEAT PUMPING AND MECHANICAL WORK PRODUCING PROCEDURE AND APPLYING INSTALLATION
The invention is referring to a procedure of increasing the coabsorbent cycles heat pumping and mechanical work producing efficiency and feasibility and to an applying installation, destined to industrial and domestic, city and rural applications of combined heating, cooling and electricity production with classic and renewable energy sources use.
The city combined heating, cooling and electricity production is based on coupling, in an unitary globally optimized system, with minimum primary energy consumption, the thermal power stations with the heat pumping coabsorbent thermodynamic cycles, taking place in installations including generation and desorption devices on one side and resorption and absorption devices on the other side, being in heat exchange with two low temperature fluids, e.g. (5-75) 0C, but with sensible different temperatures, e.g. AT = (IOSOfC, the hottest one at least or both coming of the thermal power station provided by a condensing turbine, in such a way that the first fluid of higher temperature is a fraction of that which cooled before the power station condenser or it comes of a heating process resulted from a low temperature power station cogeneration, e.g. (50-8O)0C, and the second one, of lower temperature, is a fraction of that which was cooled before in the power station cooling tower, or it has a different origin, cooled in a different way, respectively, a resorption device and a desorption one, where useful heating and cooling effects are produced, respectively, solution pumps and optionally a compressor.
The rural combined heating, cooling and electricity production is based on the trigeneration coabsorbent cycles, taking place in installations which include for example a desorber, externally heated, and an absorber, externally cooled, both operating at a low pressure, e.g. (0.1-2) bar, a resorber, externally cooled, operating at an intermediate pressure, e.g. (2-6) bar, a high pressure generator, e.g. (30-60) bar, externally heated, a turbo-generator group, solution to solution and vapor to solution heat exchangers, pumps and regulating and expansion valves.
Referring to city heating, there are already known solutions based on heat pumps operated by single-fluid mechanical vapor compression and using for heat production the condensing heat of a power station as one heat source. The main disadvantage of this method and application plant is that in most cases the primary energy use effectiveness is close to that of a warm water gas fired boiler having COPfjeatjng aiofraι ~ 0.8—0.9, especially when power stations have poor efficiency, and this favors applying local direct fossil fuel burning based heating solutions when district heating is not available, with environmentally very harmful consequences.
Referring to city cooling, there are already known solutions based on mechanical vapor compression (mvc) use. Globally, this technology consumes today about 40% of the total electrical power produced worldwide. More often then not, it is characterized quantitatively by the coefficient of performance, COPjnV0== useful delivered cooling power / electrical power introduced in system. For three main cooling applications, industrial, at -45 0C, medium, -22.5 0C and air conditioning, at 0 0C, the COP's have practical values of 1.26, 1.96 and 3.63, respectively. The main disadvantage of this method and applying plant is that thermodynamically, qualitatively, the mechanical vapor compression destroys much of the system exergy input, that is it has low exergetic efficiency, similarly defined as COP, ηex)taax = 0.31 - 0.36 , canceling in heat pumping applications to a good extent the endeavor of power station electrical efficiency increase. Referring to rural heating and cooling, there are already known solutions based on fossil fuel burning for heating and on the mechanical vapor compression for cooling. Theirs disadvantages were already emphasized above. There are also methods for separate heating, cooling and electrical power producing by by means of of renewable energies. Their main disadvantage is that these methods and applying plants are confronted with poor exergy efficiencies, ηex < 0.1. Referring to the coabsorbent cycle, it is already known the coabsorbent cooling cycle, further named also nontruncated of cooling, which includes a high pressure generator, e.g. p=(5-50) bar, externally heated, generating refrigerant vapour of a mean concentration YQ,W resorbed subsequently in a high pressure resorber externally cooled and having maximum outlet absorbent concentration y%g , named threshold concentration of the generated vapour, y^o < YQ>W . A first disadvantage of this procedure and applying installation, coming mainly of the nontruncated cooling cycle rigid configuration, is that in many volatile absorbent and high temperature lift applications concentration threshold problems appear, that is more often then not it happens that yjlO ≥ YG, znά f°r tflis reason cycle is not working. A second disadvantage of this procedure and applying plant is that in certain applications available heat source temperature is less than that actually needed and again the coabsorbent cycle cannot be used.
Referring to the coabsorbent cycle, it is already known the coabsorbent heating cycle, or coabsorbent heat transformer cycle, further named also nontruncated of heating, which includes a low pressure desorber, e.g. p=(0.1-2) bar, externally heated, generating refrigerant vapor of a mean concentration YD,m absorbed subsequently in a low pressure absorber, externally cooled, having y^Q as concentration threshold, so that yAO ≤^D,m - A ^rst disadvantage of this procedure and applying installation, coming mainly of the nontruncated heating cycle rigid configuration, is that in many volatile absorbent applications concentration threshold problems appear in this case as well, that is more often then not it happens that y/^o ≥ Y∑) m and cycle is not useful. A second disadvantage of this procedure and applying plant is that in certain applications available cooling source temperature is too high as compared to that actually required and again the coabsorbent cycle cannot be used. A first technical problem consists in finding a procedure of increasing the coabsorbent cycle effciency and feasibility, capable to enable working in the cooling mode with generation temperatures reduced enough in order to benefit of low thermal potential heat sources supply on one side, and working in the heating mode with cooling temperatures higher than those corresponding to the nontruncated cycle of origin on the other side, without concentration threshold problems. A second technical problem consists in finding a procedure of combined heating, cooling and electricity producing with high global efficiency, COPtrigeneration > ^9 » applicable mainly in geographical zones with high energy demand such as cities and which is consuming a reduced amount of primary energy first because it enables to transform in useful heat and cooling the low thermal potential sources resulted from the electrical power producing process, available in sufficient quantity and with quasiconstant parameters during the whole year.
A third technical problem consists in finding a procedure of combined heating, cooling and electricity producing with high global effectiveness and exergy efficiency COPfrigeneration » 1.0 -1.5 and fjeχ = 0.40 -0.50, respectively, applicable mainly in rural geographical zones. The procedure, according to the invention, solves the first technical problem in that, for fluid cooling it is using a coabsorbent truncated cooling cycle connected to heat sources with practically ittimited availability, of renewable, waste or classic origin, capable of heating to a maximum temperature for generation processes, e.g. (40-70) 0C and of cooling to a

The poor absorbent 11 enters the absorber 9, it absorbes vapor 3 and leaves the device as richer absorbent 12. Prior to enter the absorber 9, the poor absorbent 11 is first subcooled in a recovering way in the heat exchanger 13, providing the intermediary pressure generator 14, where it comes of, a fraction of its necessary generation heat, then it is expanded from the intermediary pressure to the low one, by means of of the expanding valve 15.

The absorbents 5 and 12, of sensibly equal pressures, are mixed in the low pressure mixer 19, cyclic forming the plant one mean concentration absorbent 20, which, subsequently is pumped with pump 21 from the low pressure to the intermediary one, is preheated in a recovering way in the heat exchanger 22 receiving a fraction of the absorber 9 absorption heat and then is introduced in the inermediary pressure mixer 23. The rest of the not recovered absorber 9 absorption heat is eliminated finally by means of of the plant cooling source 24.

The refrigerant vapor 34, generated by the generator 14 is resorbed in the resorber 33, cooled mainly by the plant sink source 24. The absorbent 35, coming of the resorber 33 is pumped by the pump 36 from the intermediary pressure till the high one in the high pressure vessel 37, priority being preheated in a recovering way successively in the heat exchanger 38, receiving a fraction of the intermediary pressure resorber 33 resorption heat, and in the heat exchanger 28. The absorbent 39 coming of the high pressure vessel 37 is supplying in pre-established quantities through the regulating valves 40 and 41, the high pressure generator 27 and resorber 8, respectively. A fraction of the high generator 27 generation heat is supplyed by the external heat source 42. The vapor of refrigerent 43, generated by the high pressure generator 27 is absorbed by the high pressure resorber 8, cooled by the plant sink source 24, in order to close the cycle. For cycles having the temperature lift of max. 35 0C, the applying installation can be provided by two pressure stages with gax heat exchange, for very high COP.
