Reducing the CO2 Emissions from Coal Combustion in a Power Unit by Using Absorption Chillers

Abstract

The problem with the amount of carbon emissions generated when burning organic fuels is directly related to the efficiency of the applied technology. One of the factors indicating a significant influence on the thermal efficiency of the installations is the temperature of the cooling water entering the condensers of the steam turbines. Maintaining this temperature, in an annual aspect, is a significant operational problem, for the solution of which an idea is considered in this article.
