Annual Cooling Performance Prediction of an Adsorption Chiller Applied System Based on a Numerical Model
Abstract
This study focuses on the annual cooling performance prediction of the Adsorption Chiller (AC). A three- dimensional numerical calculation program was built in our previous study for the parameter analysis of the AC, and the results were applied to develop an approximate function of COP and SCP, thus the performance calculation period of the AC can be reduced obviously and the annual prediction based on the continuous temperature condition was available. Then this approximate function was employed to describe the performance of the AC, which provide cooling capacity for a system numerical model. The real cooling load data of a building and the climate data from March 2022 to February 2023 were applied. This model was proved to work well for the annual cooling performance prediction. Moreover, the performance of this AC was evaluated for its practical application.
