Optimization of hydride heat pumps operation

Abstract

In article approaches to optimization of HHP operation as heat machine are planned. Optimization is directed on achievement of the maximal efficiencies, coldproductivities or levels of temperatures. Optimization of weight and the sizes of tubular sorbers are possible. The question of the coordination of a heat emission in hydride beds and heat exchangers is especially important. To increase efficiency of HHP it is possible, both by a choice of the best hydrides, and by optimum control in regime parameters of HHP. The mathematical modelling spent both a method enumeration of possibilities, and a regression procedure analysis, testifies to extreme behaviour of regime parameters of HHP. © 2007 Springer.
