CCHP Technology
Abstract
In this chapter the main technologies used in basic CCHP cycles are introduced. These technologies include different prime mover types such as steam turbines, gas turbines, reciprocating internal combustion engines, micro-gas turbines, micro-steam turbines, Stirling engines, fuel cells, and thermal photovoltaic systems. The basic CCHP cycles that can be designed with different prime movers are also presented. Furthermore, cooling system technologies especially those that are thermally operated, are presented in this chapter. Thermally activated cooling systems include absorption chillers, adsorption chillers, solid and liquid desiccant dehumidifiers, and ejector refrigeration systems.
