Abstract

In the face of huge global energy consumption today, technological implementation of waste heat recovery for electrical generating and refrigeration is of crucial significance for energy conservation. The high-temperature exhaust from marine natural gas engines carries a substantial quantity of thermal energy, making it an attractive option for waste heat recovery. A unique cycle system involving a supercritical CO2 cycle subsystem, a trans-critical CO2 Rankine cycle subsystem, and a double effect absorption refrigeration cycle is developed to utilize the waste energy in the maritime natural gas engine. The parameter variation pattern of each subsystem is investigated, and a total of eight organic working fluids with varying fractions are introduced into the trans-critical CO2 system for further investigation. The thermal-economic outcomes of the suggested integrated system are maximized by implementing the multi-objective optimization process, and it is found that when R32 with a mass fraction of 0.6138 is used as an additive in the trans-critical CO2 system, it has the highest net output power (311.6 kW) and lowest LCOE (0.0298 $/kWh). The results indicate that the novel design is a viable and meaningful strategy for marine natural gas engines' waste heat recovery.
