Summary

Among the alternatives to electrically driven vapour compression cycle for refrigeration, heat driven thermoacoustic refrigerators seem a promising technology. These machines have already proved their capability in laboratory or in space refrigeration. Some previous studies have also demonstrated the possibility of using concentrated solar energy as thermal energy sources for low power heat driven thermoacoustic refrigerators. New investigations are nowadays carried out to improve the efficiency and increase the refrigerating power in order to develop this technology in the industrial refrigeration domain. The aim of the work presented here is to investigate the global performances of a solar driven thermoacoustic refrigerator plant by mean of computer aided modelling. The interest of such refrigerators are introduced in a first part. The modelling, at the system level, of the main elements of the prototype is developed in a second section. Then the first simulation results are presented and analysed.
