Summary

This paper presents a smart design named PV COOLING to produce solar cooling using low GWP heat pump system coupled with a standard photovoltaic power plant. Optimum autonomy is achieved with proper chiller power management real-time adapted with PV production, a light battery pack and iced water tank for cold storage. For this, a test rig has been developed and installed on the building roof in the south of France with the originality to be entirely real-time controlled in terms of building thermal load. Thereafter, this new system goal is to be used as air-conditioning device (mainly in office buildings) or alternatively as a positive cold storage device in food preservation with a view to reducing post-harvest losses in developing countries. Current presentation deals with thermal/electrical performances of our test facility with the purpose to air-conditioning a building by means of several sensors and meters.
