Алгоритм расчета эксплуатационных характеристик паровой компрессорной холодильной установки с адсорбционным холодильным модулем

Abstract

The work is focused on the development of an effective algorithm for calculating the operational characteristics of a steamcompressive chilling machine with an adsorptive chilling unit, which involves a cold box, an adsorber, an evaporator and a condenser, water being used as a refrigerant. An algorithm for calculating the operating parameters of the adsorptive chilling unit has been developed, which includes the determination of the cooling capacity of the steam compressor refrigeration unit, the heat load on the condenser, the power consumed by the compressor, the coefficient of performance of the steam compressor refrigeration unit, as well as the calculation of the mass of water, the mass of the adsorbent, the refrigerating capacity, the coefficient of performance of the adsorptive chilling unit and the coefficient of useful energy utilization of a steam compressive chilling machine with an adsorption chilling unit. The chilling capacity and the coefficient of performance of the adsorption chilling unit are estimated under the operating conditions of a typical steam compression chilling machine. The crucial factors affecting the efficiency of the adsorptive chilling unit are analyzed. It has been established that the chilling capacity, the coefficient of performance of the adsorption refrigeration module and the energy efficiency of the installation are determined by the thermal load on the condenser, and, therefore, by the mass of water that is desorbed and evaporated. The coefficient of performance of the adsorption chilling unit and the efficiency of the steam compressor chilling machine with the adsorptive chilling unit are estimated to be 0.878 and 4.64. The criteria for the selection of adsorbents for the adsorption module are analyzed. The temperature of regeneration is determined by the temperatures in the condenser, and the limit adsorption affects the mass of the adsorbent and the size of the adsorber. A comparison of the efficiency of adsorptive chi l l ing uni t based on silicoaluminophosphates and composite adsorbents «silica gel – sodium acetate» is carried out. The prospects of using composites «silica gel – СН3СООNa» are shown. The optimal composition of the composite was established, which corresponds to the minimal size of the adsorber, (80% sodium acetate and 20% silica gel). The prospects of using adsorptive conversion of thermal energy for utilization of low-potential thermal energy during the operation of steam compressive chilling machine are shown.
