Calculation Tool for Transported Geothermal Energy Using Two-Step Absorption Process

Published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: June 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2024-05-20T13:53:36Z
This spreadsheet allows the user to calculate parameters relevant to techno-economic performance of a two-step absorption process to transport low temperature geothermal heat some distance (1-20 miles) for use in building air conditioning. The parameters included are (1) energy density of aqueous LiBr and LiCl solutions, (2) transportation cost of trucking solution, and (3) equipment cost for the required chillers and cooling towers in the two-step absorption approach. More information is available in the included public report: "A Technical and Economic Analysis of an Innovative Two-Step Absorption System for Utilizing Low-Temperature Geothermal Resources to Condition Commercial Buildings"
