This paper presents the theoretical analysis of use single stage and double absorption heat transformers operating with water–lithium bromide mixture coupled to a butane pentane distillation column in Mexican refinery. A mathematical model was developed FORTRAN integrated as user Aspen Plus simulation code. Both components were modelled on steady-state conditions. The results show that it is theoretically possible reduce energy consumed reboiler between 26 43% by transformer at specific...

This paper compares under the same operating conditions, theoretical and experimental performance of a single-stage heat transformer with water/lithium bromide water/Carrol™ mixtures, where Carrol™ is mixture lithium ethylene glycol [(CH2OH)2] in ratio 1:4.5 by weight patented Carrier Corp. Flow ratios, gross temperature lifts, useful heat, coefficients are plotted for against temperatures solution concentrations. Because has higher solubility than high values were obtained lift, it seems to...

We have developed a simple model of micro gas turbine system operating at high ambient temperatures and characterized its performance with view to integrating this thermally activated cooling technologies. To develop validate model, we used experimental data from the test facility CREVER research centre. The microturbine components were modelled thermodynamic properties air combustion gases estimated using commercial process simulator. Important information such as net output power, fuel...
