In this paper, an exergy cost analysis method based on the structural theory of thermoeconomics is applied to a gas-fired micro-trigeneration system, which uses a small-scale generator set driven by a gas engine and a new small-scale adsorption chiller (ADC). The thermoeconomic model for the...

The silica gel–water adsorption refrigeration has attracted much attention especially in the last two decades, due to its environmentally friendly refrigeration that can be powered by low grade heat source. In this paper, we reviewed the research about silica gel–water adsorption technology,...

As one of environmentally friendly refrigeration methods, solid adsorption refrigeration has tracked much interest over the world. Silica gel is popularly used in adsorption refrigeration systems as the adsorbent. Like a compressor in a compression refrigeration system, the adsorbent is vital to...

This study examined the performance and emission characteristics of a household size trigeneration based on a diesel engine generator fuelled with hydrogen comparing to that of single generation, cogeneration using ECLIPSE simulation software. In single generation simulation, the engine genset...
