Prototype of a Trigeneration Thermal Power Complex

Abstract

A schematic thermal diagram of a prototype of a trigeneration heat and power complex has been developed, which combines an internal combustion engine, absorption and vapor compression heat pumps and an electric generator, which make it possible to effectively use the heat of organic fuel to transform low-grade heat sources for heating and the production of electrical energy for power supply. It is also possible to generate cold, this function is carried out when the evaporator is connected to the consumer's cooling system. Theoretical studies were carried out with some initial data. For the initial development of the concept, a trigeneration heat and power complex prototype was devel-oped, the assembly results were presented, and the results of the tests were described. Comparison of theoretical and experimental studies of the prototype were made. The final scheme has been developed and presented, which is an op-timized design that allows you to combine all the elements into one design, which significantly reduces the metal con-sumption. All calculations and experimental studies were aimed at the efficient use of organic fuel for the transfor-mation of heat into heating, as this is a key feature of this trigeneration heat and power complex.
