This paper continues Part 1 of our study and develops a thermoeconomic model of the system with low and high pressure compressors. The thermoeconomic model was used to assess the unit cost of the fresh water and cooling and to evaluate the flexibility of the system for fuel allocation from...

A novel combined system that combines a MEE–ABHP (multi-effect evaporation–absorption heat pump) with a VCR (vapor-compression refrigeration) cycle is proposed to simultaneously generate cooling and fresh water. In the combined system, the condenser of the VCR system is replaced by the...
