description This research aims to improve the performance of a solar-absorption-air-conditioning installation, through the design of a simple control system, for easy implementation. This installation was designed by E. Quintana (2012) in TRNSYS, a systems simulation program. With the vision of a future implementation, a performance analysis of the absorption Chiller was carried out based on the results of the simulation from the previous work. It was found that its performance does not reach safe operating ranges within the daily operation time, every time the system starts. Based on this, the proposed research includes the design of a control system to improve the performance of the absorption chiller, from the safety point of view of the latter and the reduction of the electrical consumption of the installation. The safe operation of the Chiller is achieved when it and the whole system, operate within the nominal ranges indicated by the manufacturer. The results indicated that the parameters to be optimized are the temperatures of the water entering the generator and the thermal accumulator. Using the On-Off and Feedback differential control strategies, the results of the simulations show that the first objective was reached. In contrast, the second, could not be achieved, since the energy from the solar source fails to meet the needs of the Chiller within the daily operating time.

Esta instalación fue diseñada por E. Quintana (2012) en TRNSYS, un programa de simulación de sistemas. Con la visión de una futura implementación, un análisis de desempeño del Chiller de absorción se llevó a cabo en base a los resultados de la simulación del trabajo precedente. Se encontró que su desempeño no alcanza los rangos de operación segura dentro del tiempo de operación diaria, cada vez que el sistema se inicia. Basado en esto, el trabajo propuesto abarca el diseño de un sistema de control que permita mejorar el desempeño del Chiller de absorción, desde el punto de vista de seguridad de éste último y la reducción del consumo eléctrico de la instalación. La operación segura del Chiller se alcanza cuando éste y todo el sistema, operan dentro de los rangos nominales indicados por el fabricante. Los resultados indicaron que los parámetros a optimizar son las temperaturas del agua que entra al generador y al acumulador térmico. Empleando las estrategias de control diferencial On-Off y Feedback, los resultados de las simulaciones muestran que el primer objetivo fue alcanzado. Por el contrario, el segundo, no se logra alcanzar ya que la energía proveniente de la fuente solar no logra suplir las necesidades del Chiller dentro del tiempo de operación diaria.Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá2021-02-252021-04-18T15:26:31Z2021-04-18T15:40:45Z2021-04-18T15:26:31Z2021-04-18T15:40:45Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/prisma/article/view/237810.33412/pri.v12.1.2378https://ridda2.utp.ac.pa/handle/123456789/119662312-637X2076-8133Revista Prisma Tecnológico; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (2021): Revista Prisma Tecnológico; 71-78reponame:Repositorio Institucional de documento digitales de acceso abierto de la UTPinstname:Universidad Tecnológica de Panamáinstacron:U Tecnológica de Panamáspahttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/prisma/article/view/2378/3667Derechos de autor 2021 Revista Prisma Tecnológicohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/oai:ridda2.utp.ac.pa:123456789/119662021-05-17T21:09:34Z
