RE-WITCH: D6.2 - Optimized adsorption chiller design and containerized solution for industrial integration including innovative components and controllers

The present report represents the deliverable D6.2 “Optimized adsorption chiller design and containerized solution for industrial integration including innovative components and controllers” of the RE-WITCH project. It focuses on the design of a novel type of modular adsorption chillers for industrial applications developed by SOR and a containerized solution for heat recovery of air-compressors. After the general introduction in Chapter 2, the innovative adsorption chiller design is described in Chapter 3 and its advantages and challenges compared to the state of the art are discussed. In Chapter 4 the design of the technology through numerical modelling based on DYMOLA/Modelica models of the main components is described and the control mechanisms are developed and tested by simulations. Chapter 5 presents the detailed design of the real-size modular adsorption chiller units, which will be installed in the demo projects. The basic components of the adsorption chiller are described in detail and 3D-drawings, a P&ID as well as a list of material are provided. Furthermore, a few pictures of the first basic unit manufactured in the workshop of SOR are added for a better understanding of the design. In Chapter 6 the next step of a containerized solution of the adsorption chiller with an air-compressor is discussed in detail. In demo 4, there are already air-compressors installed, which means that a containerized solution can’t be integrated. For this reason, SOR has developed two designs, which show the maximum cooling capacity to be achieved with oil-injected KAESER compressors for a 20ft and a 40ft standard sea container. Like in chapter 5, 3D-drawings, a P&ID as well as a list of material are provided.
