CHP System #1 consists of two
natural gas engine driven air-conditioning units,
to provide cooling, which are integrated with
a liquid desiccant unit that provides dry air
to the building.
Engine-Driven
Generator
The
generator uses an automotive-derivative
reciprocating engine to produce 75 kW of power
that is fed to the building electric system.
Heat is recovered from the jacket cooling water
and exhaust gas for use in regenerating the
desiccant. When the desiccant unit is not
being used, heat is discharged to atmosphere
through a radiator.
Liquid
Desiccant Unit
This system uses a concentrated lithium
chloride solution to dehumidify and cool outdoor
air for building ventilation. Heat from the
engine is used to regenerate
(or re-concentrate) the solution after it has
absorbed moisture from the ventilation air being
delivered to the building. |
