Combustion Turbines 2
Gas/Combustion Turbine Power Plants http://me.queensu.ca/courses/mech230/notes/ Gas Turbine Power Plants are lighter and more compact than vapor power plants. The favorable power-output-to- weight ratio for gas turbines make them suitable for transportation. Air-standard Brayton Cycle Regenerative Gas Turbines 3

Cogeneration Defined Process Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation of two or more types of energy from a single fuel source Combined Heat and Power When combustion engines are used only for generating electricity, most of the usable energy from fuel combustion is lost in the form of heat - resulting in systems that are only 20-30% efficient. Generating systems can be made greater than 70% efficient by recovering and using waste heat from the combustion process - this strategy is more commonly known as "Cogeneration" or "Combined Heat and Power." 7

http://www.cogeneration.net/absorption_chillers.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chiller#how_adsorption_technology_works Absorption Chiller Refrigeration Cycle The basic cooling cycle is the same for the absorption and electric chillers. Both systems use a lowtemperature liquid refrigerant that absorbs heat from the water to be cooled and converts to a vapour phase (in the evaporator section). The refrigerant vapours are then compressed to a higher pressure (by a compressor or a generator), converted back into a liquid by rejecting heat to the external surroundings (in the condenser section), and then expanded to a low- pressure mixture of liquid and vapour (in the expander section) that goes back to the evaporator section and the cycle is repeated. The basic difference between the electric chillers and absorption chillers is that an electric chiller uses an electric motor for operating a compressor used for raising the pressure of refrigerant vapors and an absorption chiller uses heat for compressing refrigerant vapours to a high-pressure. The rejected heat from the power-generation equipment (e.g. turbines, microturbines, and engines) may be used with an absorption chiller to provide the cooling in a CHP system. The basic absorption cycle employs two fluids, the absorbate or refrigerant, and the absorbent. The most commonly fluids are water as the refrigerant and lithium bromide as the absorbent. These fluids are separated and recombined in the absorption cycle. In the absorption cycle the low-pressure refrigerant vapour is absorbed into the absorbent releasing a large amount of heat. The liquid refrigerant/absorbent solution is pumped to a high-operating pressure generator using significantly less electricity than that for compressing the refrigerant for an electric chiller. Heat is added at the high-pressure generator from a gas burner, steam, hot water or hot gases. The added heat causes the refrigerant to desorb from the absorbent and vaporize. The vapours flow to a condenser, where heat is rejected and condense to a high-pressure liquid. The liquid is then throttled though an expansion valve to the lower pressure in the evaporator where it evaporates by absorbing heat and provides useful cooling. The remaining liquid absorbent, in the generator passes through a valve, where its pressure is reduced, and then is recombined with the low-pressure refrigerant vapours returning from the evaporator so the cycle can be repeated. Absorption chillers are used to generate cold water (44 F) that is circulated to air handlers in the distribution system for air conditioning. 32
