    The use of a packed-type liquid desiccant absorber (PLDA) or an internally cooled liquid desiccant absorber (ICLDA) for air cooling and dehumidification show some promises over a water cooled cooling coil (WCCC) in terms of coolant temperature requirements and renewable energy applications. The purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of a PLDA, an ICLDA, and a WCCC with each other. For this purpose models to predict the performance of each system are developed and load removal characteristic plots are generated and presented in this work. As a case study, for two different sets of air inlet conditionsmore » depicting a high and a low latent and sensible load on each system, their cooling and dehumidification performance is reported as a function of coolant temperature and mass flow rate. Finally, for a given coolant temperature and mass flow rate, it was found that a PLDA and an ICLDA have better latent load removal characteristics while a WCCC showed better sensible load removal characteristics.« less

    A high-performance power system (HIPPS) is being developed under the sponsorship of the United States Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC). This system is a coal-fired combined cycle that uses a high temperature advanced furnace (HITAF) to transfer much of the heat to the air and steam-working fluids. Systems of this type are capable of 47-percent efficiency (HHV). The Foster Wheeler HIPPS design uses a pyrolyzation process to convert the coal into fuel gas and char. Having these two fuels available allows the design of a totally coal-fueled HIPPS with currently available materials. An outgrowth of the HIPPSmore » development effort is a repowering system that will increase the efficiency and capacity of existing plants without requiring natural gas or replacement of the existing boiler. This arrangement is similar to the fully-fired or hot windbox combined-cycle arrangements that have been used in Europe; however, the HIPPS repowering concept does not require natural gas or complete gasification of coal.« less

    In this paper, Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) analysis is used to estimate lifetime direct and indirect carbon dioxide equivalent gas emissions of various refrigerant options and commercial refrigeration system designs, including the multiplex DX system with various hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, the HFC/R744 cascade system incorporating a medium-temperature R744 secondary loop, and the transcritical R744 booster system. The results of the LCCP analysis are presented, including the direct and indirect carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for each refrigeration system and refrigerant option. Based on the results of the LCCP analysis, recommendations are given for the selection of low GWP replacement refrigerantsmore » for use in existing commercial refrigeration systems, as well as for the selection of commercial refrigeration system designs with low carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, suitable for new installations.« less
