Absorption chiller optimalization and integration for cogeneration and engine-chiller systems. Topical Report (Apr 85 - Jul 86)

A preliminary design for an advanced Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) was completed. This unit incorporates the capability of supplementary firing of the exhaust gas from the new generation of natural gas fired lean burn reciprocating engines being developed for cogeneration applications. This gives the Heat Recovery Unit greater flexibility in following the thermal load requirements of the building.
