5.2 Analysis of Typical Days<br />

In Fig. 3 it is shown the chiller oper<strong>at</strong>ion temper<strong>at</strong>ures for one day (11/07/2008). The<br />

oper<strong>at</strong>ion in this day can be considered as represent<strong>at</strong>ive for the chiller performance. The<br />

daily oper<strong>at</strong>ion process is described as follows.<br />

At 11:30 due to the solar field temper<strong>at</strong>ure, the pump of the secondary circuit starts to pump<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er he<strong>at</strong>ed in the solar he<strong>at</strong> exchanger to the gener<strong>at</strong>or of the chiller. As soon as the<br />

temper<strong>at</strong>ure of this w<strong>at</strong>er flow overcomes 80 ºC <strong>at</strong> the gener<strong>at</strong>or inlet, the chiller begins to<br />

produce chilled w<strong>at</strong>er.<br />

The temper<strong>at</strong>ure difference in the he<strong>at</strong> driven of the absorption cycle is up to 7 ºC between<br />

the inlet <strong>and</strong> the outlet of the gener<strong>at</strong>or. The average gener<strong>at</strong>or power for this day is 7.9 kW.<br />

This gener<strong>at</strong>or power makes the evapor<strong>at</strong>or outlet temper<strong>at</strong>ure (T ev,o ) decrease, reaching<br />

12 ºC on this day. When the clim<strong>at</strong>ic conditions are the optimal ones, these values can<br />

decrease to 9 ºC. The temper<strong>at</strong>ure difference in the evapor<strong>at</strong>or is around 2 - 3ºC, achieving<br />

a chilling capacity of 5.8 kW in the last part of the 2007 <strong>and</strong> 4.4 kW in 2008. According to the<br />

he<strong>at</strong> rejection system, the inlet temper<strong>at</strong>ure (T he,i ) increases when the absorption chiller<br />

oper<strong>at</strong>es, being its maximum value 42 ºC, coinciding with the maximum values of T g,i .<br />

Because of the fact th<strong>at</strong> a dry cooling tower is used to reject the waste he<strong>at</strong> of the absorption<br />

chiller, in figure 3 it can be seen th<strong>at</strong> the he<strong>at</strong> rejection temper<strong>at</strong>ures depend on the outdoor
