Exergy-economic analysis of a heat transformer
conference paper
Thermo-economic analysis, in spite of its valuable qualities,has been applied to sorption heat pump systems only to a small extent. A detailed exergy analysis of a concept however, provides the de signer the locations and magnitudes of the exergy losses. When these losses are expressed in costs and combined with component investment costs, the priority and maximum allowable costs for com ponent and system optimization can be established. A detailed ex ample of a thermo-economic analysis is presented for a 6 MW heat transformer. First the method itself, including boundary conditions and fluid data will be discussed. Then an insight is given into the exergetic efficiencies, the costs of the losses due to irreversibi lities and the investments costs of the various components
