Abstract:

This study presents a theoretical analysis of a new combined cooling, heating, and power cycle by the novel integration of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC), and a heat pump cycle (HPC) for producing cooling output, heating output, and power output simultaneously. Three different working fluids—namely R113, isobutane, and R141b—have been used in power, refrigeration, and heating sub-cycles, respectively. Energetic and exergetic analyses of the proposed cycle have been conducted to demonstrate its efficiency. The thermal and exergy efficiencies are obtained as 71.08% and 38.3%, respectively. The exergy destruction rate of each component and the overall cycle have been calculated where it is shown that among all the components, the generator has a main contribution in the cycle inefficiency. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the different key parameters on the performance of the proposed cycle has been investigated. It has been demonstrated that the proposed cycle performs well in high generator pressure and low evaporator outlet pressure, based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Technical-economic analysis of the combined system power generation, production of fresh water and cooling production

In gas power plants, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat more than the electricity produced. In the present research, techno-economic evaluation of combined power, desalination and cooling systems running by the exhaust flue gases of a gas turbine in Iran is performed. In addition to using power generated by the gas turbine, attempts were made to use Organic Rankine Cycle to recover the...
