Conventional cooling systems consume a high percentage of the world’s total electricity generation. Because absorption cooling systems can be mainly operated with thermal energy, they can be used to reduce such percentage. In the present paper, an analysis is carried out to determine the cooling potential that can be obtained from a geothermal well in a location of Mexico by using a single-stage absorption cooling system. The analysis has been carried out taking into account the desired cooling temperature, the ambient temperature, and the temperatures at different depths of the wells for a typical day of every season of the year. The results showed that, for a fixed generation temperature, a maximum cooling potential as big as 71,594 GW, 70,649 GW, 71,164 GW, 70,859 GW could be obtained in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn, respectively. Using the temperatures obtained from the well, for a fixed depth, the results show that higher values are obtained in spring and summer. From the analysis, it is clear that absorption systems operating with geothermal energy could be an excellent alternative to reduce the electricity consumed by conventional systems.

墨西哥 Cerritos Colorados 地热田 PR2 井单效吸收冷却系统冷却潜力评估

传统的冷却系统消耗了世界总发电量的很大一部分。由于吸收式冷却系统可以主要使用热能运行，因此可以使用它们来降低这一百分比。在本论文中，进行了一项分析，以确定使用单级吸收冷却系统可以从墨西哥某地的地热井获得的冷却潜力。进行分析时考虑了所需的冷却温度、环境温度以及一年中每个季节的典型一天中不同井深的温度。结果表明，对于固定的发电温度，冬季、春季、夏季和秋季分别可以获得71,594 GW、70,649 GW、71,164 GW、70,859 GW的最大制冷潜力。使用从井中获得的温度，对于固定深度，结果表明在春季和夏季获得更高的值。从分析中可以看出，使用地热能的吸收系统显然是减少传统系统耗电量的绝佳替代方案。
