CONTENTS: 1- Hydrocarbon fired Absorption Chiller & Heat ratio 2- Difference between HR (COP) Abs. & COP V.C. 3- How did H.R (COP) improve dramatically. 4- Conclusion
Definition of COP (HR) of Absorption Chillers COP(LP)= (Refrigeration capacity/(Gas Low calorific value*Gas consumption) COP(HP)= (Refrigeration capacity/(Gas High calorific value *Gas consumption)
Overall efficiency of a power station: * Efficiency at Refrigeration plant boundary becomes 25 to 50 %

Conclusions:- 1- When comparing The overall thermal efficiencies ,it is important to compare the efficiency of mechanical vapour compression systems (electric chillers) to the efficiencies of vapour compression systems ( absorption chillers) , starting at the boundary of supply to the power station(natural gas ) and the boundary of supply of natural gas at the absorption chillers burner, otherwise the comparison cannot be fair. 2- When this is done ,the difference in efficiencies is then quite close , taking into consideration that few power stations in Egypt have high thermal efficiencies. 3- Therefore the use of natural gas in large central air conditioning projects is economically sound since the saving in investment cost for power plant is considerable. (1)
Conclusions(Cont.):- 4- Shaving electrical peak loads in summer can only be achieved by the use of natural gas fired air conditioning system. 5- legislation exists in many countries that prohibit the use of electrical energy in air conditioning over a certain refrigeration tonnages (over about 1000 TR) This is the case in Japan , South Korea & lately the United Arab Emirates. The aim of the legislation is to preserve electric power for applications where there are not other alternative sources of energy . (2)
