- Summary
- The proposed hardware simulator has been successfully built at the Solar Technology Group Laboratory of BNL, and it has been operational since its construction. The hardware simulator has the following unique features: it has been incorporated with a measurement-double-checking system, it is a totally closed-loop system, it employs three separate energy storage tanks, and it has been automated to perform instantaneous data collection and reduction. With the external energy storage, all the external test conditions can be easily set up for any steady state or transient run. The simulator is described in detail with schematics and actual photographs. The steady state testing of Arkla's Solaire 36 absorption chiller has been performed. The test dealt primarily with chiller capacity or coefficient-of-performance (COP) as a function of generator hot water inlet temperature (1) with condenser cooling water inlet temperature as parameter, and (2) with evaporator chilled water outlet temperature as parameter.
