TY - EJOU AU - Toujani, Rabeb AU - Bouaziz, Nahla TI - Exergo-Environmental Study of a Recent Organic Solar Hybrid Heat Pump T2 - Fluid Dynamics \& Materials Processing PY - 2023 VL - 19 IS - 4 SN - 1555-2578 AB - A hybrid heat pump (compression/absorption) with an integrated thermal photovoltaic unit is studied. The considered working fluids are organic mixtures: R245fa/DMAC and R236fa/DMAC, chosen for their low Global Warming Potential. The main objective is the optimization of energy efficiency in order to minimize the environmental impact through the implementation of a sustainable strategy. It is shown that Exergy Analysis itself is a valuable tool in energy integration. Within the imposed framework of minimizing total annual costs, entropy analysis can be instrumental in determining the optimal plant concept, optimizing energy conversion and use, and improving profitability. The present results are discussed under the optimistic hope that they may help to define new energy and environmental policies.
