Abstract
Control strategies of absorption heat pumping systems (AHPS, comprising heat pumps and chillers) often
perform insufficiently well, since they usually do not explicitly consider the systems’ dynamics and crosscoupling effects. One promising approach to improve their performance is to apply model-based control strategies since they would allow for an explicit consideration of these system characteristics. Therefore, mathematically simple models of the system to be controlled are required. This contribution proposes a new approach for such a model for a H2O-LiBr AHPS. The model results from the linearization of a more complex, nonlinear simulation model, leading to a simple, but physically still meaningful linear state-space model structure. The experimental validation shows that the developed model describes the system’s dynamics and cross-coupling effects sufficiently well and indicates that it is suitable to serve as a basis for the development of a model-based control strategy for AHPS.
