Solar cooling with small size chiller: state of the art.

Gruppi frigoriferi ad assorbimento di piccola taglia: stato dell'arte.

Summary

Absorption refrigerating machines represent an interesting alternative to compression machines, especially when waste heat or heat produced by solar energy is available; the market is proposing small-size absorption machines especially designed for air conditioning in residential buildings. A survey of small-size absorption refrigerators is presented, covering a range of chilling power between 5 and 17 kW and highlighting the productivity of machines. Since the main obstacle to the market penetration consist on an excessive spreading of prototypes, a study aimed on the definition of common standard is analyzed, comparing the results with experimental campaigns conducted at the Labs of Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Perugia. A brief look on the economical aspects and perspectives of this technology completes the paper.
