A Combined Cooling and Power System of Supercritical/Transcritical CO2 Cycle with Liquefied Natural Gas as Cool Source
To improve the efficiency of low-temperature waste heat recovery for the supercritical CO
2
Brayton cycle(SCO
2
cycle)
a cooling and power system combining recompression SCO
2
cycle with transcritical CO
2
cycle(TCO
2
cycle)and with liquefied natural gas as the heat sink was established to yield electricity and cold capacity. A TCO
2
cycle was employed as a bottoming cycle to recover the waste heat in the topping recompression SCO
2
cycle
and liquefie
d natural gas(LNG)was adopted to condense the CO
2
in the TCO
2
cycle to improve the heat recovery efficiency. Exergy analysis was performed and the effects of several key thermodynamic parameters on the system performance were examined according to the performance criteria
including net power output
refrigeration output
overall cycle thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency. The results show that the lower condensation temperature in the TCO
2
cycle could improve the heat recovery efficiency
with the thermal efficiency of 54.47% under given conditions when LNG was adopted as heat sink. Moreover
an increase in the LNG inlet temperature can lead to a reduction in exergy loss of the system. Furthermore
both thermal and exergy efficiency increase when the high-temperature recuperator efficiency increases; when the SCO
2
turbine expansion ratio increases
the thermal efficiency declines while exergy efficiency increases; with the increase of TCO
2
turbine inlet pressure
both thermal and exergy efficiency increase first
and then declines and increases at last; as the condensation temperature increases
the thermal efficiency deceases and exergy efficiency increases firstly and then declines.
