A novel micro CCHP system, which is based on a two bed silica gel-water adsorption chiller, is constructed in this work. To reveal the chiller characteristic in this system, a transient model of the adsorption chiller is developed. According to the comparison of the simulated results and...

As a kind of distributed energy system, internal-combustion-engine-based cogeneration system is attracting increasing attentions for its environmental friendly and economic qualities. Some problems are encountered in the application, such as jacket water temperature control and the...

In order to optimize design and operation strategy of air-source heat pump water heater, an experimental set-up and simulation model were constructed. Also, a methodology of optimizing operation, which takes into account thermostatic and timing control patterns, was presented and applied....
