Chapter 1Energy and Cogeneration

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 1 –24

[The word energy is derived from the Greek in (in) and ergon (work). The accepted scientific energy concept has been used to reveal the common characteristics in diverse processes where a particular type of work is produced. At the most basic level, the diversity in energy forms can be limited to...

Chapter 2Thermodynamics of Fuel Cells

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 25 –36

[In this chapter the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles behind fuel cell operation and technology are described. The basic electrochemistry principles determining the operation of the fuel cell, the kinetics of redox reactions during the fuel cell operation, the mass and energy...

Chapter 3Selected Fuel Cells for Cogeneration CHP Processes

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 37 –53

[Before going into the details of cogeneration combined heat and power (CHP) processes, it is necessary to establish the operation principles and performance characteristics of the most common fuel cells for consideration in CHP processes. According to the phenomena governing the performance of...

Chapter 4State of the Art of Sorption Refrigeration Systems

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 55 –73

[Sorption cooling systems have been used commercially for some decades for different applications including air conditioning and refrigeration, using a diverse range of thermodynamic cycles and technologies for many size and capacities. However, their use has been limited mainly because of their...

Chapter 5Sorption Refrigeration Systems

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 75 –102

[The knowledge of the basic principles of thermodynamics allows us to understand the conditions and necessary limitations in order to transform heat in work, transferring heat from a thermal source of high temperature to a smaller one. Thermal machines work under this principle, however, there...

Chapter 6Cogeneration Fuel Cells – Air Conditioning Systems

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 103 –120

[As already discussed in Chapter 1, energy is a finite resource and its rational use implies an increase in energy efficiency. The electric generation efficiency is always less than 100% due to resistive, transmission and distribution losses, which can be quantified as heat sent to the...

Chapter 7Potential Applications in Demonstration Projects

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 121 –131

[Fuel cells are devices where electrical energy is produced by redox electrochemical reactions of hydrogen or enriched hydrogen fuels and oxygen, or simply air. Powerful fuel cells or stacks have emerged as potential replacements for the internal combustion engine in automobile vehicles, because...

Chapter 8Profitability Assessment of the Cogeneration System

Pilatowsky, I.; Romero, R.J.; Isaza, C.A.; Gamboa, S.A.; Sebastian, P.J.; Rivera, W.

Pages: 133 –154

[From Chapter 1 it is clear that nowadays electricity and cooling demands are growing considerably worldwide, and that also there is a necessity to provide these by using more efficient and cleaner technologies, as the proposed in the present book.]
