Influence of Economic Conditions to the Specific Costs of Cooling by Chilling Machines

In combined cooling, heat and power concepts different plants of energy supply are combined to an energetically, economically and technically worthwhile system. The gain of these concepts is the production of energy in its needed form. The disavantage is that the efficiency of each component in a combined cooling, heat and power system has many influence factors. For instance, depending on the economic conditions the net price for cooling can range e.g. between 0.12 €/kWh chill and 0.14€/kWh chill produced by compression chilling machines and between 0.09 €/kWh chill and 0.15 €/kWh chill produced by absorption chilling machines.
