5. SIMULATION AND RESULTS<br />

Figure 5.23: The influence <strong>of</strong> the Closest Approach Temperature for the Water-Gas HEXes on<br />

the COP (STD value is 15 ◦ C). The electrical efficiency remains virtually constant. The brown<br />

<strong>and</strong> green line is the temperature <strong>of</strong> the exhaust gas before <strong>and</strong> after heat supply to DES2.<br />

unit with heat). If WGHEX1 becomes less effective (increase <strong>of</strong> ∆T min )<br />

T 21 will increase but so will T 20 due to the air preheating in GGHEX4<br />

(which means less heat transmission in GGHEX3) 12 .<br />

Gas-Gas Heat exchangers<br />

The GGHEX 1,2, <strong>and</strong> 3 have not been investigated, since their ∆T min<br />

is not given explicitly. GGHEX 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 have the same (unspecified)<br />

effectiveness. GGHEX3 is fed with the temperatures at point 13,14, <strong>and</strong><br />

19, so ∆T min can not be specified. So only GGHEX4 will be examined<br />

here. GGHEX4 reuses some <strong>of</strong> the exhaust gas heat after the absorption<br />

unit to preheat the <strong>fuel</strong> cell inlet air, which means that GGHEX3 can leave<br />

more <strong>of</strong> the exhaust gas energy for the absorption unit. So as expected<br />

COP ABS,f uel will increase then GGHEX4 becomes more effective, whereas<br />

12 WGHEX2 is not used in the st<strong>and</strong>ard configuration, end WGHEX3 will be<br />

examined in section 5.3.6 page 140<br />
