Abstract:
This paper deals with the problem of development and design of adsorption refrigerating plant with utilization for continuous operation at simultaneous cold and heat generation. There are described the processes in plant reactor during adsorption with the couple zeolite –water working fluids. The natural gas was used as primary source of energy in this energy system working in simultaneous function as refrigerating plant and heat pump. Proposed energy system can be utilized for water heating to about 55 оC and for water cooling to about 0 оC. It is suitable for heating purposes with surface heating systems and for air conditioning in industry or municipal buildings. Measurements on the realized prototype show the sufficiently higher energy effectiveness in comparison with cold and heat separate generation in conventional adsorption refrigerating or heat pump plants.
