Dynamic simulation of solar driven absorption chiller: a case study in Colombia

This paper evaluates the technical feasibility of a LiBr-H2O absorption chiller with solar energy supply. The technical feasibility is evaluated by means of two case studies in a residential environment in a tropical region with mean high temperatures over 35 °C. The optimal control problem is devel...

Sumario:This paper evaluates the technical feasibility of a LiBr-H2O absorption chiller with solar energy supply. The technical feasibility is evaluated by means of two case studies in a residential environment in a tropical region with mean high temperatures over 35 °C. The optimal control problem is developed using a dynamic model and the control strategy is formulated by means of an algebraic modeling software, GAMS.
