Description:
A large Canadian utility involved in developing district energy systems that include cogeneration had a surplus of heat energy in non-space heating months. The economics of these systems had significant potential for improvement if waste heat could be utilized for the production of chilled water. Absorption chillers offered a method to convert waste heat into usable chilled water. The scope of work by Kinectrics involved identification of heat-driven cooling technologies, and equipment applicable to the client’s district cooling systems operated in conjunction with co-generation of electricity and heat. A second task looked at the economics of heat-driven chillers versus electric chillers. State-of-the-art steam turbine and absorption cooling cycles that could be used with cogeneration systems were reviewed, including double and triple effect systems in development. The work covered steam, gas turbine and combined cycle co-generation applications. Kinectrics investigated different options in using heat-driven cooling in conjunction with central cogeneration in the district energy systems. Kinectrics provided a comprehensive, documented review of heat-driven cooling technologies for the project and developed a detailed spreadsheet that allows the client to readily analyze the economics of various types of chillers in a cooling plant.
