  1. Tri-generation System: Final Design Review Maggie Alvarado Diego Azevedo Raphael Santos Cavalcanti Natalie Levings Richard Robards Bruno Vieira

  2. Overview • Introduction • Previous System • Problems with the Current System • Collaboration with Brazil • Modifications • Heat Regulation • Water-heating Unit • Alternative Fuels & Engine Conversion • Expansion • Modifications Parts • Schedule/Plan • Fall Schedule • Proposed Spring Schedule • Conclusion

  3. Introduction: Current System Last year students from FAMU/FSU College of Engineering and the Federal University of Paraná collaborated to design a tri-generation system producing: • Electricity • Refrigeration • Hot Water The wasted heat from exhaust gas was used to produce hot water & refrigeration. Tri-Generation system built last year.

  4. Brazil’s Tri-Gen Prototype

  5. Constant supply to refrigeration system needs to be controlled. Water-heating unit exceeding maximum temperature Engine only runs off of gasoline. Introduction: Problems with Current System Tri-generation System Previously Built

  6. Introduction: Collaboration with Brazil • Together the two groups will do the following: • Automate heat supply to absorption refrigerator • Manage heat to water supply and add a distiller • Modify engine for CNG (compressed natural gas) and propane • Use cooling effects of expanding gas

  7. Modifications: Heat Regulation Bypass Pipe • Thermostat • Damper Actuator • Damper/ Butterfly Valve • Bypass Pipe Exhaust Piping in Current System with Bypass Valve

  8. Modifications: Heat Regulation Damper/Butterfly Valve

  9. Modifications: Heat Regulation • Devices • Actuators • Used to position and control air dampers.   • Actuator moved to new position until system requirement is met and then stops. • Proportionalinput signal provides the best control since actuator constantly being positioned in response to system requirements. • Actuatorswith spring returncan be set to return damper from either direction and have manual crank for precise adjustment.       Actuators are adjustable for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation from 0° to 90°  (unless noted).

  10. Modifications: Water-Heating Unit • Hot-Water-on-Demand • Bypass piping will reroute exhaust heat when water-heating unit not in use Bypass Piping Depiction of Bypass Piping Valve controlling exhaust flow

  11. Modifications: Water-heating Unit • Addition of Distiller • Takes advantage of excess exhaust heat to produce clean water

  12. Modifications: Alternative Fuels & Engine Conversion • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has been chosen as it can be stored at the high pressures required for the expansion • The Carb Turbo #720-FD501-5 adapter kit was selected for our engine Storage Tanks for CNG

  13. Modifications: Alternative Fuels & Engine Conversion How it Works: • The carburetor adapter is installed between the gasoline carburetor and the air cleaner • The adapter has a hose connecting it to the demand type regulator • A venturi at the center of the adapter, producing a vacuum, thus drawing fuel into the airstream • Amount of fuel delivered depends on how much air is flowing, which depends on how far the throttle is open Conversion Kit Attached to Engine

  14. Modifications: Alternative Fuels & Engine Conversion Heating Value Mass Flow Rate Input Heat Heat Lost in Exhaust Temperature Change Exhaust Temp.

  15. Modifications: Expansion Collaboration with Brazil • The Brazilian team members have been working on the effects of the gas expansion and here are the results….. Refrigerator that will be cooled by expansion

  16. Modifications: Expansion Please Refer to the Live Feed

  17. Modifications: Parts • Alternative Fuels • Conversion kit • Fuel tanks • Refrigeration Heat Regulation • Bypass Piping • Actuator • Machining valve • Water-heating Unit • Bypass Piping • Machining Valve • Distiller • Expansion • Regulating Valve • Piping Parts to be Purchased To be Machined To be designed in Brazil!

  18. Schedule/Plan: Fall Schedule

  19. Schedule/Plan: Proposed Spring Schedule

  20. Conclusion Final Design Package Deliverables: • Bypass piping, valve and actuator to control heat supply to absorption refrigerator • Water-heating unit heat bypass and distiller addition • Conversion for engine to run off of CNG, propane, and gasoline • Using expansion of CNG to cool refrigerator
