Hydrogen energy system for cooling habitation located in Ghardaïa using TRNSYS 16
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hydrogen system is mainly based on the Proton Exchange Membrane PEMFC technology (cogeneration), using hydrogen and air, respectively, as fuel and oxidant. The heat exhaust is evacuated to the Thermal Storage Tank (TST) which is using in LiBr/H2O single effect absorption system for residential system cooling. Absorption system is based on evaporation of the refrigerant (water) in the evaporator in low pressure. Numerical simulation of the absorption cooling system using the thermal energy of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) for residential application situated in the Unit of Applied Research in Renewable Energy in Ghardaïa (southern Algeria) has been made and performances was analysed, we have determine the quantity of electrical and thermal energy generated by the PEMFC. TRNSYS 16 is used to plot initial and final residence temperatures before and after cooling. The results showed the feasibility of using PEMFC for cooling.
