Abstract

High source temperature demand (>100 °C) and inflexible working pressure restrict the widespread application of solution transportation systems. Absorption-resorption heat pump cycles stand out in significantly lowering the demand of heat source temperature (to 80 °C), as well as multiplying working pressure choices (lower to 500 kPa) attributed by solution concentration adjustment and simplifying system structure (no rectifier). In this paper, a novel solution transportation resorption system is proposed based on the single-stage absorption-resorption heat pump cycle by assigning high-pressure generator and high-pressure absorber on the source site while placing low-pressure generator and low-pressure absorber on the user site. Feasible working pressure combinations and outlet temperature of high pressure-absorber to effect the system are investigated, illustrating the pressure range difference between resorption cycle and cycle -based heat transportation system. Thermodynamic parameters such as thermal coefficient of performance, electrical coefficient of performance, heat supply temperature range of the system are revealed in this paper. Under the condition that transporting distance is 20 km, the maximum COP value of the proposed system could reach 0.53 when high/low pressure pair is 700 kPa/405 kPa. The highest supply water temperature could reach 53.84 °C with COP of 0.477, which is suitable for floor heating. Besides, hydrodynamic and economic analysis of the proposed system are conducted, indicating that when the transportation distance exceeds 4 km, the proposed system is more economical than conventional sensible heat transportation systems. According to restriction to pump power, the longest distance is supposed to be no more than 113 km when loading power is 20 MW.
