Description

FIELD

This disclosure relates to driving an absorption cooling system with a separate solar heating system that that acts as both a solar absorber and the generator and possibly the condenser of one or more absorption cooling systems

BACKGROUND

Many parts of the world that suffer high climatic temperatures, where refrigeration and air conditioning are therefore important, are too remote to have adequate electricity supply. Solar power has the potential to resolve this problem, but many solar powered refrigeration systems have the problem that they rely on moving mechanical compressors and other parts that consume large amounts of electricity and are liable to failure. Solar thermal collectors demonstrate high efficiency regarding producing high grade heat that is useful directly for heating, cooling via absorption chillers, and storage. Applications include both residential and industrial scale systems.

Regarding absorption cooling systems, the two most used cycles are (1) Lithium Bromide (LiBr)-Water and (2) Ammonia-Water. The LiBr-H₂O appears to be more suitable for small-scale and low-cost solar applications due to lower operating temperature of this cycle and avoids the use of toxic ammonia.

Instead of using a mechanical compressor (usually power-expensive), absorption cooling completes pressurization by dissolving the refrigerant in the absorbent. In case of LiBr-H₂O system, LiBr acts as an absorbent, and H₂O acts as refrigerant. LiBr is a salt, so when the LiBr-H₂O solution boils, water will be driven off, and the LiBr salt will stay. The solubility limit of LiBr in water is quite high, so the solution used in the absorption cycle is very concentrated. It should be noted however, that there are many variants other than LiBr-H20, and Ammonia-Water, and any of them could be used in this proposed system.

In a typical absorption cooling system, there are four main components: a generator, an absorber, a condenser, and an evaporator (where the cooling effect is achieved). The process starts at the generator where heat is input, often from some available waste heat or possibly solar, then the solution in the form of vapor passes to the condenser where rejected heat leaves the system. This goes through an expansion valve into the evaporator where heat is input creating a cooling effect. Once again in the form of vapor the solution travels to the absorber where rejected heat leaves the system. it is subsequently passed to the heat exchangers where it can return to the generator.

As will be shown in this disclosure, the heat input will be solar, but solar used in a way that offers great efficiencies in absorption cooling. Namely the absorption cooling system makes use of an absorber, condenser, and evaporator only. And the solar heating and the generator are combined within a parabolic solar trough. And in a second embodiment the solar heating, generator, and condenser are combined so that the absorption cooling system is made up of only and absorber and evaporator. In addition, the unique design of the combined solar absorber/generator or the combined solar absorber/generator/condenser in the parabolic solar trough allows more extreme concentration of the LiBr (using that as an example system) to the point that it has to moved out of the solar absorber/generator with an augur system because it can be predominately solids.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to FIG. 1 and the first embodiment of the solar absorption system of this disclosure a double absorption system with two units 30 and 32 on each side of a parabolic solar trough 10 is shown. Note that this figure is not to scale as the absorption cooling systems 30 and 32 will be much larger than shown and will be illustrated in later figures. It should also be noted that a single absorption system can be employed with only one unit 32 on one side of the parabolic solar trough and that will also be illustrated in later figures.

Within the parabolic solar trough, a dual set of combined solar adsorption and generator systems 20 and 22, mounted side-by-side provide the generator requirement of traditional absorption cooling systems, thus removing the need for generators in absorption cooling systems 30 and 32. The resulting alternate absorption cooling system will be illustrated in more detail in later figures.

Turning now to FIG. 2, we illustrate more of a top-down view of the combined solar absorber/generators to illustrate that there are two combined solar absorber/generators 20 and 22 aligned back-to-back to work with double absorption cooling systems 30 and 32. In the case of using a single absorption cooling system there would only be one solar absorber/generator within the parabolic solar trough.

Still looking at FIG. 2, each of the two combined solar absorber/generators 20 and 22 have internal auger systems 70 and 72 that are utilized to drive predominately solid LiBr from their combined solar absorber/generators 20 and 22 as the water is removed from the LiBr-Water refrigerant. This important feature leads to significantly improved efficiency as the highly concentrated (or solid) LiBr is then absorbed into the cooler water vapor passing from the evaporator and the LiBr goes back into a weak solution for reuse. Note that these auger systems may not be needed in alternate refrigerant systems (such as ammonia/water), but will be important in popular LiBr-water refrigerant systems.

Turning now to FIG. 3, shown generally as numeral 100 is an illustration of the details of a single absorption cooling system of this disclosure. The combined absorber/generator 110 is now a single combined absorber/generator rather than the dual combined absorber/generators 20 and 22 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The major elements of the single absorption cooling system shown here are a condenser 122, which condenses refrigerant vapor 115 leaving the combined absorber/generator 110, an evaporator 135, and an absorber 150. The refrigerant weak solution 157 that is shown in absorber 150 is pumped via pump 170 to the other side of the parabolic solar trough 10 and into the single combined absorber/generator 110 where it is heated by the solar input as it passes from left to right in the figure. As it flows from left to right through the combined absorber/generator 110 refrigerant vapor comes off and the bottom liquid system in 110 becomes much more concentrated. The refrigerant vapor then flows out of combined absorber/generator 110 via pipe 115 from a first end of the combined absorber/generator into condenser 122 where it is cooled and condensed by a cooling water loop 120. The cooling water loop in the condenser provides the cooling of the very hot refrigerant vapor to convert it to liquid that is subsequently expanded in expansion valve 130 to provide additional cooling to the overall system. The water in that cooling water loop 120 could come, for example, from a water tower.

The condensed refrigerant 125 is then fed through and an expansion valve 130 and into evaporator 135, letting down the pressure, which immediately provides a cooling effect. Within evaporator 135 is the building cooling loop 140 which provides cooling to the structure being cooled. Refrigerant vapor from evaporator 135 then flows to absorber 150 via line 145.

In absorber 150 the refrigerant vapor comes into contact with the highly concentrated (possibly semi-solid) LiBr exiting combined absorber/generator 110 via pipe 160 and again generates a weak solution 157 for feeding back into the combined absorber/generator 110. This weak solution 157 is cooler and is used to cool the hot and very concentrated solution coming from combined solar absorber/generator 110 using heat exchanger 165. Component 155 could be a sprayer when the flow on pipe 160 is a highly concentrated LiBr solution coming from the combined solar absorber/generator 110 and other designs could be used when the LiBr is a semi-solid or solid driven by the internal augers (described earlier in FIG. 2) in the combined solar absorber/generator 110.

In a further possible embodiment of this disclosure the absorber/generator conditions can be used to drive off all the water from the weak solution entering the absorber/generator 110 and the internal auger within the absorber/generator then delivers solid LiBr into absorber 150.

Note that the detailed disclosure of the single absorption cooling system applies also to the double absorption system. There is simply a similar system on the other side of the parabolic solar trough (FIGS. 1 and 2) and the combined absorber/generator has two combined absorber/generators 20, 22 installed back-to-back within the parabolic solar trough 10. The two absorption systems 30, 32 though are essentially identical.

Turning now to FIG. 4 we now describe a further embodiment of a hybrid solar absorption cooling system. In this embodiment the solar absorption cooling system is further simplified by basically moving the condenser function (122 in FIG. 3) into the parabolic solar trough so that the solar trough is now a combined solar heating/generator/condenser all combined within the parabolic solar trough so that the absorption cooling function now is simplified to an evaporator and absorber. This embodiment also enables the elimination of the cooling water loop 120 of FIG. 3.

The major elements of the single absorption cooling system of FIG. 4 are an evaporator 225, and an absorber 235. The refrigerant weak solution exiting at the bottom of absorber 235 is pumped via pump 255, first through a heat exchanger 250 to conserve heat and then to the other side of the parabolic solar trough 205 and into the single combined absorber/generator/condenser 260 where it is heated by the solar input as it passes from left to right in the figure. As it flows from left to right through the combined absorber/generator/condenser 260 refrigement vapor comes off and the bottom liquid system becomes much more concentrated. The refrigerant vapor then flows out of the combined absorber/generator/condenser 260 via pipe 212 and then is redirected back into a pipe 214 positioned below the liquid level in combined absorber/generator/condenser 260, flowing counter currently against the incoming and cooler weak solution coming from weak solution pump 255, and is cooled and condensed back to a liquid. That now liquid refrigerant is fed through pipe 210 through a pressure multiplying pump 215 and is expanded in expansion valve 220 and into evaporator 225, providing an immediate cooling effect to provide cooling to the overall system as it is expanded back into a vapor.

Within evaporator 225 is the building cooling loop 230 which provides cooling to the structure being cooled, and refrigerant vapor from evaporator 225 then flows to absorber 235.

In absorber 235 the refrigerant vapor comes into contact with the highly concentrated (possibly semi-solid) LiBr exiting combined absorber/generator/condenser 260, pumped via absorber feed pump 245 into absorber 235 and after combining with the water vapor exiting evaporator 245 is fed back into the combined absorber/generator/condenser 260 by weak solution pump 255. This weak solution exiting absorber 235 is cooler and is used to cool the very concentrated solution coming from combined solar absorber/generator/condenser 260 using heat exchanger 250. Component 240 in absorber 235 could be a sprayer when the flow from combined absorber/generator/condenser 260 is a highly concentrated LiBr solution coming from the combined solar absorber/generator 260 and or other designs could be used if the LiBr is a semi-solid or solid driven by an internal auger in the combined solar absorber/generator/condenser 260.

And in FIG. 5 we simply illustrate again the second embodiment of a combined absorber/generator/condenser, but now configured as a double system. The combined absorber/generator/condenser 310 is now shown as two back-to-back systems A and B contained within solar trough 315 that are identical with each connected to an absorption cooling system comprising only an evaporator and absorber subsystem. As illustrated previously in FIG. 4, each side of the combined absorber/generator/condenser has as both an evaporator 315 and an absorber 320, which work in the same way as described previously in the single system described in FIG. 4.

The use of parabolic solar troughs has obvious advantages related to energy savings. It should be noted though that there are applications in which 24-hour power is needed and the concepts exemplified here could use other sources such as gas or electric heaters to heat the elongated tube when solar impingement is not available. The system described would work in the same way in providing efficient removal of refrigerant from absorption cooling solutions.

This disclosure has been described with reference to specific details of particular embodiments. It is not intended that such detailed be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention except insofar as and to the extent that they are included in the eventual claims.
