[TRNSYS-users] Type 107 hot water absorption chiller- catalogue to develope a data file

Mehdi, Javier, and Jochen,

 

We recently experienced some good cooperation on different projects from
Broad & Thermax that is worth mentioning. For one of our solar cooling
projects I had estimated the hot water temperature range that we could
supply to the absorption chiller, based on the outlet temperatures of
glycol-mix from the solar collectors. Then according to the external
data file format for Type 107, I had prepared an excel sheet specifying
the parameter boundaries, the chilled water, cooling water, & hot water
inlet temperatures. The Thermax rep then filled out the performance data
using their in-house software that David mentioned in his email. Same
thing with Broad - I did receive the data files from them for two of
their models for our CHP projects.

 

Having said that, I have to admit that it takes a lot of persistence &
patience on our side - repeated emails & phone calls to get this done.
Plus, you have to be sympathetic when you hear quite a few complaints
about the number of runs they need to do to fill out the data. Also,
there is no guarantee that you could count on the goodness of their
hearts the next time you need data for another model! 

 

Good luck!

Mehdi, Javier, and Jochen,

   I have run into the same trouble with manufacturers as well. I have 

the impression that they are moving away from printed catalogs with 

standard operating points and they are moving towards developing their 

own in-house software tools that make a machine selection based on 

expected operating points. If you (or the manufacturer's rep) run that 

software enough times with different operating points covering the 

entire range of expected inlet conditions, you can generate that 

necessary maps. Getting access to that software is nearly impossible
though.

Best,

  David
