Space cooling using geothermal single‐effect water/lithium bromide absorption chiller

This research is proposed to fully investigate the performance of a single-effect water/lithium bromide absorption chiller driven by geothermal energy. Since cycles are considered as low-grade energy cycles, this innovative idea rejecting fluid from single-flash power plant with would serve efficient, economical, and promising technology. In order examine feasibility approach, residential building which located in Sharjah, UAE, evaluate its cooling capacity 39 kW calculated using MATLAB software. Based on obtained load, modeling required machine implemented discussed. A detailed analysis model under different conditions performed Engineering Equation Solver software (EES). results, major factors design system size heat exchangers input source temperature. The results presented graphically find out geofluid temperature mass flow solution exchanger effectiveness effects thermal performance. Moreover, all components load meet space heating presented. efficiency about 13% when at production well 250℃, separator pressure 0.24 MPa, condenser 7.5 kPa. show that coefficient (COP) reaches 0.87 0.9, 120℃.
