Abstract:

Aimed at the problem that the conventional absorption heat pumps and compression heat pumps cannot take into account the temperature rise and efficiency, this paper proposes the use of a thermally-coupled hybrid compression-absorption heat pump to achieve high-efficiency and high-temperature output. To meet the demands of different scenarios, a large-temperature-lift cycle and a high-temperature-output cycle are constructed. R245fa and lithium bromide aqueous solution are used as working substance. For output temperature above 100℃, Aspen Plus software is used to establish a mathematical model to predict the cycle performance for calculation. The results show that the optimized coefficient of performance(COP) can be 2.58 or higher when the large-temperature-lift cycle is used to recover the waste heat at 30-40℃. When the high-temperature-output cycle is used to recycle waste heat at 60-70℃, the optimized COP of the cycle can reach 2.83. The cycles proposed are more advantageous than the R245fa compression cycle on temperature lift, output temperature, and efficiency.
