A thermodynamic model was developed in computational platform EES (Engineering Equation Solver) and it's based on ideal processes, information supplied by the engine manufacturer and the absorption chiller, as well as experimental results and literature. This work also aims to expose constructive characteristics, experimental methodology adopted, problems identified, interventions and the solutions adopted in the resolution of problems occurring. / O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise teórico-experimental de uma planta de cogeração, composta por um chiller de absorção que utiliza a tecnologia NH3/H2O, um recuperador de calor e um grupo gerador a gás natural. A modelagem termodinâmica foi desenvolvida na plataforma computacional EES (Engineering Equation Solver) e está embasada em processos ideais, dados fornecidos pelo fabricante do motor e do chiller de absorção, bem como em resultados experimentais e da literatura. Este trabalho visa também expor características construtivas, metodologia experimental adotada, problemas detectados, intervenções realizadas e as soluções adotadas na resolução dos problemas ocorridos.

This diploma work aims to evaluate the functional connection of the cogeneration unit with an internal combustion engine and an absorption heat pump to increase the heating effect of the cogeneration. The aim of this work is to design a functional system and evaluate it from the technical - economic terms. In the introduction of the theoretical work the applied cogeneration technologies used in combined heat and power production are presented. Then there is described the principle of heat pumps, their basic components and theoretical comparison of compression and absorption heat pumps. In the practical part of this work is for a specific application in the area Technická 2 proposed merger of the cogeneration unit with an internal combustion engine and an absorption heat pump, while detailed design parameters used in absorption heat circulation are set. At the end of this paper there are designed various heat exchangers of applied absorption heat pump. The final part of the work is devoted to technical - economic assessment of applied design. In this assestment three different types of heat pumps are compared: Absorption heat pump with working solution H2O-LiBR, absorption heat pump with working fluids NH3-H2O and compressor heat pump.
