What is waste heat recovery?
Waste heat recovery plays a critical role in maximizing system efficiency by capturing and reusing energy that would otherwise be wasted, reducing overall energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact .
How does solar radiation affect energy production?
As can be seen in Fig. 3, higher levels of solar radiation boost power generation, freshwater production and cooling load, with power output rising from .7 kW to .1 kW, freshwater production increasing from 25.7 kg/s to 51.1 kg/s and cooling load increasing from 378.6 kW to 752.3 kW. Consequently, the overall cost rate also rises.
