An improved absorption refrigeration system for recovering two waste heat with different temperatures: Parametric analysis and comparative study

Yin Bai et al.

Summary: The key to improving energy efficiency lies in matching heat capacity and temperature between heat sources and energy systems, especially in scenarios with multiple temperature-distributed heat sources. An improved ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system is proposed in this paper, featuring an additional intermediate-pressure generator and absorber to recover two different grade heat sources. Adjusting solution distribution and extending heating areas of generators result in improved heat utilization ratio and capacity for recovering low-grade heat sources, with 5% higher coefficient of performance compared to a modified vapor exchange system within a large range of intermediate pressure. Additionally, the proposed system shows significantly higher exergy efficiency compared to conventional single-effect and vapor exchange systems under baseline working conditions.

Correlation analysis based multi-parameter optimization of the organic Rankine cycle for medium- and high-temperature waste heat recovery

Tao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study established a multi-parameter optimization model for the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to recover medium- and high-temperature waste heat. Through preliminary screening of 42 pure working fluids, it was found that using a high temperature ratio working fluid can improve the system net power output, while a working fluid with a great pressure ratio is not as effective.
