Abstract

Abstract Renewable energy use in agricultural applications is essential for sustainable production. Resorption cooling systems can be operated for agricultural cooling applications by using thermal energy derived from geothermal springs with sufficient temperature. Since the resorption cycle uses ammonia-water solution, cold storage and industrial cooling processes below 0°C can be actualized efficiently. In this article, a geothermal powered resorption system for cold storage of apple fruit is investigated. Technical features and cooling performance of the resorption system are analysed and compared to the other conventional cooling systems. Results showed that, geothermal powered resorption cooling systems can annually cover the cooling load of the cold storage application with adequate cooling temperature and capacity. Moreover, the use of the geothermal powered resorption system enables to set up safer and more economic cooling applications with the similar cooling performance compared with the alternative sorption cooling systems, and provides substantial economic benefits by reducing the cooling costs in agricultural production with lower operational costs.

地热能吸收式制冷系统的性能分析:以苹果果冷库为例

摘要:可再生能源在农业中的应用对可持续生产至关重要。再吸收冷却系统可用于农业冷却应用，利用来自地热泉的热能，具有足够的温度。由于吸收循环使用氨-水溶液，因此可以有效地实现0°C以下的冷库和工业冷却过程。本文研究了一种用于苹果果实冷库的地热能吸收系统。分析了吸收系统的技术特点和冷却性能，并与其他传统冷却系统进行了比较。结果表明，地热吸收式制冷系统能够以足够的制冷温度和制冷量满足冷库的年制冷负荷。此外，使用地热动力再吸收系统可以建立更安全、更经济的冷却应用，与其他吸附冷却系统相比，具有相似的冷却性能，并通过降低农业生产的冷却成本，降低运行成本，提供可观的经济效益。
