- Abstract
Cooling needs are increasing rapidly at hot climatic countries with increased global warming. The existed vapour compression refrigeration (VCR) system demands electricity for its operation which is more expensive. The concept of a newly proposed cooling cogeneration cycle has been developed by clubbing the power and cooling processes. It consists of characteristics of Rankine cycle and vapour absorption refrigeration (VAR) system and can be developed at hot climatic conditions with LiBr-water mixture as a working fluid. The results show that increase in heat source temperature is boosting power with a drop in cooling. The resulted cooling is seven times more than the power generation. The separator temperature has been recommended from 140 to 150C to maximize the total output.
