Summary

The Sofri project is granted in the article which aim is to generate chilled water for air-conditioning needs in sunny areas like the Dutch West Indies . The plant is driven by thermal energy in the form of solar heat and a gas backup system. For the project, the heat is gained by 100 m2 collector surface, which powers a 35 kW output absorption refrigeration machine. The generated cold enters the chilled water network via a cold buffer. The main objective of the project is to develop the necessary knowledge and experience to commercialise solar-assisted air conditioning and dehumidification systems in the Dutch West Indies having a high and uniform insolation throughout the year. Furthermore, hotels and offices use more than 40% of their energy for air-conditioning purposes. Therefore, solar-assisted air-conditioning systems area logic approach in reducing the energy demand and to lower the peak electricity demands for the local power station.
