Abstract
This paper presents a study conducted on the potentials of waste heat utilization at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, to enhance propane cycle cooling and efficiency through absorption cooling utilizing hot exhaust gases from gas turbines. Based on the results presented, this approach is promising to enhance cycle performance and efficiency.
