The recently proposed Kalina based power and cooling cogeneration cycles (KPCCCs) have shown improvement in the energy utilization of the system compared to the basic Kalina cycle. This paper suggests a combined tri-cogeneration system for power, heating and cooling based on the Kalina cycle. And thermodynamic performances of the suggested system based on the first and second thermodynamic laws are parametrically investigated with respect to the ammonia mass fraction and the boiler pressure. Results showed that the thermodynamic performance of the system could be greatly improved compared to the former KPCCCs.

This study proposes polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) based cogeneration system for greenhouse heating and cooling. The main scope of this study is to examine the proposed cogeneration system's suitability for the 660 m²-class greenhouse. A 25 kW PEMFC system generates electricity for two identical air-cooled heat pumps, each with a nominal heating capacity of 70 kW and a cooling capacity of 65 kW. Heat recovered from the fuel cell supports the heat pump, supplying hot water to the greenhouse. In cooling mode, the adsorption system provides cold water to the greenhouse using recovered heat from the fuel cell. As a result, the cogeneration system satisfies both heating and cooling capability, performing 175 and 145 kW, respectively.
