Performance Prediction for a Marine Diesel Engine Waste Heat Absorption Refrigeration System

The output of the absorption refrigeration system driven by exhaust gas is unstable and the efficiency is low. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the performance of absorption refrigeration systems in a stable state. This will help predict the dynamic parameters of the system and thus control the ou...

description The output of the absorption refrigeration system driven by exhaust gas is unstable and the efficiency is low. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the performance of absorption refrigeration systems in a stable state. This will help predict the dynamic parameters of the system and thus control the output of the system. This paper presents a machine-learning algorithm for predicting the key parameters of an ammonia–water absorption refrigeration system. Three new machine-learning algorithms, Elman, BP neural network (BPNN), and extreme learning machine (ELM), are tested to predict the system parameters. The key control parameters of the system are predicted according to the exhaust gas parameters, and the cooling system is adjusted according to the predicted values to achieve the goal of stable cooling output. After comparison, the ELM algorithm has a fast learning speed, good generalization performance, and small test set error sum, so it is selected as the final optimal prediction algorithm.
