Energy saving in advanced absorption heat pump with object oriented programming

Abstract

This paper shows the algorithm for the calculation of energy savings using an advanced absorption heat pump. The main parameters for the heat transformer system is defined as COP, it is the ratio between the useful energy and the waste energy. The modeling is based on thermodynamics data. The heat balance of the Advanced Heat Pump (AHP) is used for determination of total amount of saved energy. The object oriented programming (OOP) is used for calculate the mass flows for each line into a thermodynamic cycle for energy recover. The OOP is made using HPVEE software. The results show values for recover 98 % of waste energy using the Carrol - water mixture into the cycle. Waste energy is added at the system at 70°C. Water ™-Carrol mixture is used in the DSHT. The recover energy is obtained in a second absorber at 128°C with two scenarios. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
