2.5 Conclusion <strong>of</strong> the whole market<br />

investigation<br />

From the economical investigations it has been concluded that the two<br />

areas appearing to have the biggest advantage <strong>of</strong> using an absorption<br />

cooling unit in conjunction with a SOFC is the ship APU <strong>and</strong> the hotel<br />

DG. In both these cases it looks like there is a definite market potential<br />

with the pay back time being just below 2 years (although various<br />

assumptions <strong>and</strong> neglecting <strong>of</strong> maintenance, installation costs etc. can<br />

have made the outcome a little too optimistic).<br />

potential, so it has been decided to carry on with the project <strong>and</strong> create a<br />

thermodynamical model <strong>of</strong> the combined system.<br />
