Abstract

This paper studies an absorption machine driven by the heat recovered from a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The absorption unit was first evaluated by a cycle analysis determining the sensitivity to the main boundary conditions and to the internal parameters. Then a specific simulation code of all the different devices of the absorption machine was developed to evaluate the performance and size of the unit together with its operating condition limits.
