Summary on Grant Application Form
The objective of the proposed Proof of concept project is to investigate a novel tri-generation system for electricity, heating and cooling applications.The proposed system is based on the combination of an electrogasdynamic (EGD) converter and ejector nozzle.Solar energy, waste heat or hybrid sources(e.g solar/gas) could be used to drive the tri-generation system. The specific objectives of the project are:i) To carry out thermodynamic analysis and laboratory testing using a small-scale unit(e.g testing working fluids and system components)ii) To design,construct and test a pre-prototype system.
