Printing: Háskólaprent, Fálkagata 2, 107 Reykjavík Reykjavik, Iceland, May 2014 Abstract Condensing units at geothermal power plants containing surface condensers and cooling towers utilize great amounts of water. Air cooled condensers (ACCs) are not typically paired with dry or flash steam geothermal power plants, but can be a viable solution to eliminate the extensive water usage and vapor emissions related to water cooled systems. The present thesis investigates two different models that provide tools for calculating the heat transfer coefficient across air cooled tube bundles. An analytical model is created using MATLAB (2013), while ANSYS Fluent (2013a) is used to generate a numerical model. A correlation from literature is used for the heat transfer coefficient calculation in the analytical model and the k − ! shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model is used in ANSYS Fluent (2013a). When compared, the analytical model results in more accuracy than the numerical model. However, both models can be utilized to optimize air cooled condenser design. Útdráttur Kælikerfi í jarðvarmaverum sem notast við varmaskipta ásamt kæliturnum kalla á töluverða vatnsnotkun. Loftkældir eimsvalar eru raunhæf lausn til þess að koma í veg fyrir óþarfa sjónmengun og mikla vatnsnotkun. Vanalega eru loftkældir eimsvalar ekki nýttir við jarðvarmaver og er því brýnt að skoða þá lausn. Í ritgerðinni eru tvö líkön sett fram þar sem hvort þeirra býður upp á möguleika á útreikningum á var- maleiðnistuðli yfir loftkæld rör með kæliplötum. Greiningin er framkvæmd fræðilega í forritinu MATLAB (2013) en einnig er notast við tölulega greiningu í ANSYS Flu- ent (2013a). Þá er notast við jöfnur úr fræðigreinum til að framkvæma útreikninga fræðilega en tölulega er notast við k − ! SST iðustreymislíkanið í ANSYS Fluent (2013a). Þegar líkönin eru borin saman er greinilegt að fræðilega nálgunin er nákvæ- mari, en tölulega nálgunin býður upp á sjónræna túlkun af flæðinu. Hinsvegar geta bæði líkönin verið notuð í bestun á loftkældum eimsvölum. v Contents List of Figures ix List of Tables xi Nomenclature xiii Acknowledgments xvii 1. Introduction 1 2. Background 3 2.1.

Compare compression systems with absorption systems (Section 17.7) At the end of the lecture, the student should be able to: 1. Draw the schematic of a ammonia-water based vapour absorption refrigeration system and explain its working principle 2. Explain the principle of rectification column and dephlegmator using temperature-concentration diagrams 3. Carry out steady flow analysis of absorption systems based on ammonia- water 4. Explain the working principle of Platen-Munter’s system 5. List solar energy driven sorption refrigeration systems 6. Compare vapour compression systems with vapour absorption systems 17.1. Introduction Vapour absorption refrigeration system based on ammonia-water is one of the oldest refrigeration systems. As mentioned earlier, in this system ammonia is used as refrigerant and water is used as absorbent. Since the boiling point temperature difference between ammonia and water is not very high, both ammonia and water are generated from the solution in the generator. Since presence of large amount of water in refrigerant circuit is detrimental to system performance, rectification of the generated vapour is carried out using a rectification column and a dephlegmator.

  • Chapter 8 and 9 – Energy Balances
    CBE2124, Levicky Chapter 8 and 9 – Energy Balances Reference States . Recall that enthalpy and internal energy are always defined relative to a reference state (Chapter 7). When solving energy balance problems, it is therefore necessary to define a reference state for each chemical species in the energy balance (the reference state may be predefined if a tabulated set of data is used such as the steam tables). Example . Suppose water vapor at 300 oC and 5 bar is chosen as a reference state at which Hˆ is defined to be zero. Relative to this state, what is the specific enthalpy of liquid water at 75 oC and 1 bar? What is the specific internal energy of liquid water at 75 oC and 1 bar? (Use Table B. 7). Calculating changes in enthalpy and internal energy. Hˆ and Uˆ are state functions , meaning that their values only depend on the state of the system, and not on the path taken to arrive at that state. IMPORTANT : Given a state A (as characterized by a set of variables such as pressure, temperature, composition) and a state B, the change in enthalpy of the system as it passes from A to B can be calculated along any path that leads from A to B, whether or not the path is the one actually followed. Example . 18 g of liquid water freezes to 18 g of ice while the temperature is held constant at 0 oC and the pressure is held constant at 1 atm. The enthalpy change for the process is measured to be ∆ Hˆ = - 6.01 kJ.

All the proposed systems are capable of reaching temperatures of 22 ◦C/25 ◦C in heating and cooling modes. EnergyPlus software was used to develop a simulation model and carry out the validation process. The first objective of the paper is the validation of the numerical model developed in EnergyPlus with the experimental results collected from the monitored building to evaluate the system in other operating conditions and to compare it with other available technologies. The second aim of the study is the assessment of the position of the low enthalpy geothermal system proposed versus the rest of the systems, from energy, economic, and environmental aspects.

TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. This paper is focused on TES technologies that provide a way of valorizing solar heat and reducing the energy demand of buildings. The principles of several energy storage methods and calculation of storage capacities are described. Sensible heat storage technologies, including water tank, underground, and packed-bed storage methods, are briefly reviewed. Additionally, latent-heat storage systems associated with phase-change materials for use in solar heating/cooling of buildings, solar water heating, heat-pump systems, and concentrating solar power plants as well as thermo-chemical storage are discussed. Finally, cool thermal energy storage is also briefly reviewed and outstanding information on the performance and costs of TES systems are included. Keywords: storage system; phase-change materials; chemical storage; cold storage; performance 1. Introduction Recent projections predict that the primary energy consumption will rise by 48% in 2040 [1]. On the other hand, the depletion of fossil resources in addition to their negative impact on the environment has accelerated the shift toward sustainable energy sources.

Minimum energy buildings (MEBs) demand as little energy as possible, with an optimized architectural design, which includes passive solutions. In addition, these buildings consume as low energy as possible introducing efficient facilities. Finally, they produce renewable energy on-site to become zero energy buildings (ZEBs) or even plus zero energy buildings (+ZEB). In this paper, a deep analysis of the energy use and renewable energy production of a social dwelling was carried out based on data measurements. Unfortunately, in residential buildings, most renewable energy production occurs at a different time than energy demand. Furthermore, energy storage batteries for these facilities are expensive and require significant maintenance. The present research proposes a strategy, which involves rescheduling energy demand by changing the habits of the occupants in terms of domestic hot water (DHW) consumption, cooking, and washing.
