Objective 1/ PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND SCIENTIFICAL TARGETS Development of a European altemative for large gas fired or exhaust gas cogenerated LiBr absorption chiller heater to be integrated into buildings with following competitive advantages: Thermal efficiency Through modifications introduced into the standard thermal cycle: - 25% improvement of the COP with subsequent primary energy saving - high efficiency operation from 10% to 100% load Water consumption Through separation of the absorber and condenser cooling circuits, development of a hybrid cooling tower: - 50% reduction of water consumption Benign impact on the environment - 25% reduction of C02 emission at full load operation related to primary energy saving, - down to 50% reduction of C02 emission at partial load, - no water vapor wreath. Integrability - adaptable to cogeneration applications, - adaptable to various chilled water circuits conditions, - minimised overall dimensions, - improved integrability of cooling water tower, - conformity to European standards for buildings. 2/PARTNERS AND MAIN TASKS Organisation Type Role Country 1) ENTROPIE Ind1 C FR 2) ZAE Ror2 P DE 3) CATHERINE Ind1 P FR 4) BG/PLC Ind7 P GB 5) GN Ind6 P ES Company activity RTD function in project 1) Engineering Study, system design, tests 2) Research laboratory Study, model, tests 3) Manufacturer Detailed design, manufacturing 4) Gas distributor North Basic design LiBr regenerator 5) Gas distributor South Basic design hybrid tower 3/ SCHEDULE AND BUDGET Schedule : 30 months Total budget : 2025 kECUs, 187.5 man-months and 83 kECUs equipment 4/ EXPECTED ECONOMICAL IMPACTS AFTER 5 YEARS Partners : 26.6 kECUs, Others: 12.65 MECUs + 7.5 MECUs gas sales Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringpower engineeringelectric power generationcombined heat and power Programme(s) FP4-NNE-JOULE C - Specific programme for research and technological development, including demonstration in the field of non-nuclear energy, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 0201 - RUE in buildings Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator Entropie SA Address 17,17 rue thiers 78103 Saint-germain-en-laye France See on map EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (3) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all BG PLC United Kingdom EU contribution € 0,00 Address Ashby road LE11 3GR Loughborough - leicestershire See on map Bayerisches Zentrum für Angewandte Energieforschung e.V.
