A novel solar assisted absorption refrigeration system for cold storage of perishable agricultural products.

Author(s) : ZURITZ C. A., PEREZ BLANCO H.

Summary

A new high efficiency solar-assisted, absorption-cooling system is proposed. The system has the competitive elements of high performance, potential low initial cost, and low operating cost. It uses ammonia-water, in which the peak operating pressure is equal to that required by vapour compression systems, namely 170 to 250 psig. The new cycle requires high-grade thermal energy, and it can accept low-temperature energy. The cycle, called Solar Heat Absorption-Resorption Cycle, is a modification of the absorption-resorption cycle, resulting in a cycle that can accept low-temperature heat (at 60 deg C). A thermodynamic analysis of the system is presented for cooling temperatures of 0 deg C.
