Condensing Heat Recovery of Centrifugal Chiller

To a kind of centrifugal water chiller with R22 and about 1 745 kW of cooling capacity,a heat exchanger was added between the outlet of compressor and original condenser to get part of or all the condensing heat.Condensing heat can be recovered by compound condensing method,which adopts air-cooling model +water-cooling model or water-cooling model +water-cooling model at the condensing side of the system.By exergy analysis and experiment research on compound condensing heat recovery of centrifugal chiller,the results are obtained that the capability of the whole system increases,the energy efficiency ratio(EER)becomes 3.2～5.0 from 2.2～3.4,which implies the EER increases about 1.0～1.5,the exergy efficiency increases about 10%,and the chiller runs more stably after reformation.
