Summary

Idea of the workshop

The workshop series Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies is planned as an annually research workshop of the chair for Energy Conversion Technologies at the Institute of Energy Engineering at TU Berlin with an alternating specific topic mainly attributed to absorption chillers, heat pumps and heat transformers.

In addition the idea of the first workshop about the “Characteristic equation method” was to get international researchers from the UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI (Tarragona, Spain) and the TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN together, to give them a structured possibility to present their results achieved so far and to discuss problems and ideas for their future work.

Characteristic equation method

The characteristic equation method is a method to describe the performance of an apparatus, which consists of at least two heat exchangers with phase change dominated heat transfer in a closed or open thermodynamic cycle by a small set of simple algebraic equations but based on thermodynamic fundamentals.

In the 1980th the characteristic equation method has been developed for heat transformers first. Since then several modifications and improvements have been carried out by a relatively small number of researchers. Although the method facilitates a considerable simplification of the thermodynamic description of e.g. absorption chillers, heat pumps and heat transformers, its application is far from being rampant.

Results and future work

From the given presentations at the workshop it turned out that future research work may focus on the following three topics:

1. Review and examination of allowed fit-parameters in multi regression methods and alternative modeling approaches (e.g. like artificial neural networks, non-linear multivariable regression etc.) in order to achieve improvements in accuracy on the one hand side but to ensure physical boundaries on the other hand.

2. Application of improved heat transfer calculation to multi stage cycles and reversible heat pumps of type 1 (chillers, heat pumps) and type 2 (heat transformers) in connection with new working pairs were the higher ratio of sensible heat to latent heat (i.e. higher Stefan number) may lead to problems in the validity of some method inherent assumptions.

3. Generalization of the method to non-sorptive heat pump technologies, like mechanical vapor compression systems and jet-ejector cycles.

1 – OBJECTIVES

2J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

The idea behind the use of the Characteristic Equation Method at theCREVER-URV projects is to have a simple but rigorous method toestimated the performance of absorption systems at partial load.

The aim is to integrate the final characteristic equations into morecomplete and complex simulation and optimisation environmentsfor Polygeneration of energy systems including conventional and renewable energy technologies. These modelling environments are mainly TRNSYS, GAMS, Aspen Plus, etc.

The interaction between complete thermodynamic models (developedIn EES for example) and these complex modelling environments is notvery robust.

2 – REVIEW OF THE CHARACTERISTIC EQUATION METHOD

3J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

At CREVER–URV the Characteristic Equation Method has been reviewed:

Puig-Arnavat, M.; López-Villada, J.; Bruno, J.C.; Coronas, A. (2010) Analysis and parameter identification for characteristic equations of single and double effect absorption chillers by means of multivariable regression. International Journal of Refrigeration, 33: 70-78.

and the main findings are presented here.

In this study two approaches to obtain the Characteristic Equation methodwere identified and a modification of the second approach was proposed.

2.1 – Basics of the Characteristic Equation Method

The heat transfer equations (which implicitly also include the internal mass transfer) in the four major components relate the transferred heat loads to the driving temperature differences (Hellmann et al, 1999):

� is the logarithmic mean temperature difference divided by the arithmeticmean temperature difference

� is the internal arithmetic mean temperature

[Eq 1]

2.1 – Basics of the Characteristic Equation Method

The internal temperatures of the four heat exchangers can be combined using Dühring’s rule:

[Eq 2]

Combining Eq. 1 and Eq. 2, it is possible to find a relation between the external temperatures:

[Eq 3]

[Eq 4]

2.1 – Basics of the Characteristic Equation MethodTo eliminate the heat loads of the generator, absorber and condenser from Eq. 3, the energy balances of the four major components are introduced:

[Eq 5]

where Qhex stands for the heat exchanged in the solution heat exchanger between the strong and the weak solution streams that reduce the heat loads at the absorber and generator.

7J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

2.1 – Basics of the Characteristic Equation MethodThe heat loads of the condenser, absorber and generator can be expressed as function of the evaporator load substituting Eq 5 in Eq 3 as follows:

where:

8J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

2.2 – First approach of the Characteristic Equation Method

In this first approach to the characteristic equation method two different ways of solving the set of equations, depending on the available information, were used:

Hellman et al. (1999) determined the average values of the characteristicparameters B, s, �, ��tmin and G’ required in the model using design data: UA-values, weak solution flow rate and the external heat carrier flow rates for a H2O/LiBr absorption chiller.

The Solac Computer Design Tool (Albers, 2002) uses the same definition for ��t (Eq. 3) but proposes an equation for each main heat exchanger:

where the subindex u corresponds to the different heat exchanger units(Evaporator, Generator, Absorber and Condenser).

[Eq 8]

2.2 – First approach of the Characteristic Equation MethodThe external outlet temperatures and heat loads of the heat exchangers can be calculated as:

[Eq 9]

Combining Eq 9 into Eq 8 the following linear equation system is derived:

To calculate the value of su and ��Tminu, for each heat exchanger only two points of operational data are needed.

[Eq 10]

2.2 – First approach of the Characteristic Equation MethodIt has been proposed to reduce the deviation from real behaviuor assuming that the characteristic parameters are not constant but linear funtions of the �tACE:

�tACE = TAC - TE [Eq 11]

To find the values suI, suII, ruI, ruII to determine the characteristic parameters (su

and ��tminu), four operation points must be used instead of two.

[Eq 12]

2.3 – Second approach of the Characteristic Equation Method

In this approach, described by Kühn and Ziegler (2005), a numerical fit was carried out to improve the results of the characteristic equation method using anarbitrary characteristic temperature function:

And the linear characteristic equation was defined as :

The use of the ��t’ definition in the characteristic equation yields:

[Eq 13]

[Eq 14]

[Eq 15]

3 – COMPARISON OF THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES

12J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

These two approaches have been compared using the data for a solar poweredwater/LiBr absorption chiller reported by Gommed and Grossman (1990). Thesame data used in Hellmann et al (1999).

Using the first approach

3 – COMPARISON OF THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES

13J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

First approach considering su and ��tminu as constants

Two groups of points were arbitrarily chosen to study how selection of the experimental data influences the results.

3 – COMPARISON OF THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES

15J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

With this second approach no point selection is needed. A multiregression fitwas carried out with Microsoft Excel to calculate the value of the fourparameters: s’, a’, e’ and r’ in Eq. 15. The multiple linear regression algorithmchooses regression coefficients to minimise the residual sum of squares.

[Eq 16]

4 – MODIFICATION OF THE SECOND APPROACH

16J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

To characterise the part-load behaviour of an absorption chiller instead of the external arithmetic mean temperature of the external flows of the absorption chiller (TG, TAC, TE) the usual information available is TinG, ToE and TinAC.

Albers and Ziegler (2008) suggested that if a linear part load behaviour is found for ��t, a linear behaviour should also be expected for modified characteristic temperature difference (��t*):

Thus another characteristic equation is proposed ��t”:

6 – CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES

23J. C. Bruno – 1st Workshop on Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies – Berlin, 2012

After comparing the results obtained using experimental data, it was concluded that the second approach is the simplest and that provides similar or better accuracy than the first approach.

Instead of using the external arithmetic mean temperature of the external flows of the absorption chiller (TG, TAC, TE), is interesting to use the temperatures usually given to characterise the part-load behaviour (TinG, ToE and TinAC).

Coupling of the Characteristic Equation Method to a general procedure ofdata treatment for absorption chillers covering: steady-state detection, degrees of freedom analysis and simultaneous Data reconciliation and gross-error detection.

Possibility to integrate the method in dynamic models for absorption chillers.

Enormous energy is dissipated as low temperature waste heat in the industry. Absorption heat pumps (AHPs) can recover low temperature waste heat from various industrial processes and upgrade it to deliver useful heat for heating and hot water supplies. Unlike electrical driven heat pumps, AHPs can also work as heat transformers.

The purpose of an Absorption Heat Transformer (AHT) cycle is to use heat at an intermediate temperature level and to upgrade a portion of it to a higher temperature and transfer this heat as a useful output.

AHTs are driven by recovery waste heat

The most used working fluid for AHTs has been water + lithium bromide (H2O + LiBr) due to its excellent properties (no toxicity, high latent of water as a refrigerant, no need for rectification to separate the mixture, etc).

But, has some drawbacks such as corrosion, crystallization and very low system pressure.

The objective of this work is to study the performance of AHTs using two working fluid pairs composed of ILs:

2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) +

1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([emim][BF4]) and

2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)+ 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4])

Alternative working fluid pairs: � The use of organic solvents was proposed in the literature as an

alternative to the conventional H2O + LiBr mixture mainly because of low corrosion, complete miscibility with refrigerants and thermal stability at relatively high temperatures.

� Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been proposed as new absorbents to overcome the problems of high volatility and low system performance that the organic absorbents show in absorption systems.

Simulation of heat transformers with new working fluids - Berlin (Germany), 2012

1st Workshop Development and Progress in Sorption Technologies

The performance of [emim][BF4] and [bmim][BF4] as absorbent for TFE in a modified single-effect AHT and Double-AHT were analysed for different operating conditions and the simulation results compared with those of the conventional and organic absorbents in AHTs (LiBr and TEGDME respectively).

For the considered operating conditions similar performance was observed for [emim][BF4] and [bmim][BF4] absorbents. Therefore, the transport properties are also important factors for selecting the better absorbent.

In a modified single-effect AHT [emim][BF4] and [bmim][BF4] perform better than TEGDME.

For Double-AHT at operating condition of tevap = tgen = 70 oC, ɛSHE1, 2 = 95%, and GTL = 60 oC, the transport properties (such as viscosity and surface tension) are the main key factors for comparing the absorbents.

Conclusions

This methodology is demonstrated analysing the operational data of a small-capacity single effect ammonia/water absorption chiller tested in a testbench and a double effect water/lithium bromide absorption chiller workingin a polygeneration plant.

This presented methodology includes a steady-state detection step, asystematic degrees of freedom analysis, and DR including GED. Thismethodology allows a reliable calculation of important parameters, such asCOP and cooling capacity and at the same time the identification ofmeasurements with systematic errors

Empirical modelling approaches, such as the Characteristic EquationMethod, benefit from the DR since the data used for their construction haslower noise and is consistent with the laws of conservation.
