Thermoeconomic Evaluation Of A Modified Kalina Power Cycle For Dual Cooling Application
ABSTRACT
The
principles and operation of Kalina power cycle forms the bases for this
research work. The goal is to convert waste heat from thermal power plants to
useful energy in order to increase efficiency and maximize profit with zero environmental
pollution. Over the years alot of modifications have been made to maximize the
product of the Kalina power cycle from only electricity to power and cooling.
This work introduces a new modification to Kalina power cycle by producing
electricity with double cooling application from the same plant. which is a new
concept in energy saving systems. Energy, exergy and cost balances of all the
plant components were carried out. The cost of the product, the cost of fuel
and the life cycle cost analysis and the payback period of the plant were
determined. The results show that a turbine output of 299.6KW of power was
achieved with cooling capacity of 543.3KW and 534.1KW from the main system and the subsystem with
exergy efficiency of 17.67%. The purchase equipment cost of the plant stood at
$468,833.34 while the life cycle cost is $118,586.9 with a payback period of 6
years.
