INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project outline
In this report the integration of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and a heat
driven chiller will be investigated.
Chapter 1, Introduction
The SOFC technology and some of its applications are briefly described
and the principles of heat driven chilling and different technologies are
introduced. In the end of the chapter the problem statement of this
project will be shown.
Chapter 2, Market investigation
In order to see if there is any potential in combining a SOFC with a heat
driven chiller a short market investigation is carried out. Economical
calculations are made to check if the SOFC-absorption system (SOFC-
ABS) can provide an economical advantage over the more traditional
cooling technologies. At this point no thermodynamical model has been
made yet, so the efficiencies will merely be estimated.
Chapter 3, Component description
The individual components of the thermodynamical model of the SOFC-
ABS system are described in details.
