Renewable heat powered polygeneration system based on an advanced absorption cycle for rural communities

G. Praveen Kumar et al.

Summary: An advanced absorption cycle based on renewable source heat driven polygeneration is proposed for multiple products to rural communities. The cycle improves net power output by decreasing pumping power or increasing pressure ratio. Two absorbers in the cycle utilize rejected heat for fresh water production, drying, or domestic hot water applications. The study analyzes the effects of absorber temperature, generator temperature, condenser temperature, and refrigerant flow on the cooling and power sub cycle.
