Abstract
This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of a heating system that consists of Hot Air Generator driven by biomass pellet burner to drive the NH3-H2O absorption heat pump made by Robur. The aim of this work is to fully test the system of Hot Air Generator for thermal potential, by developing a thermal field, while driving the absorption heat pump of medium capacities for residential purposes, and to make model of predicting the efficiencies of heating comparing to conveyed heat in desorber of absorption heat pump. Numerical simulations of the Hot Air Generator were performed in the commercial software Ansys Fluent and CFX. The experimental part was carried out in the laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Nis, where the temperature and velocity measurements were obtained and compared to numerical results. Results were obtained for mass airflow through the Hot Air Generator and desorber of 0.17 and 0.2552 kg/s, pellet burner power of 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 kW, with air inlet temperature in desorber of around 89 to 140 ?C. and . The heating efficiency of the absorption heat pump goes from 1.01 to 1.37. The heat loss over the surfaces of Hot Air Generator goes from 0.6 to 0.9 kW depending on ambient air and surface temperatures. The system has the potential to be applied in low-temperature heating and the spare heat from combustion products and residual hot air can be used for different purposes.
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
