Author(s) : AMMARI H., BANY ATA A.

Summary

This work provides an economic comparison between a vapor compression refrigeration system powered by a photovoltaic array and a vapor absorption refrigeration system powered by a solar thermal unit. The comparison between these two technologies is conducted based on energy efficiency, cost and payback period perspectives. The results have indicated that both systems are cost effective. The total cost of the absorption refrigeration system including the solar evacuated tubes unit is $9142 with a payback period of 1.36 years, whereas that of the vapor compression refrigeration system including the photovoltaic array is $7176 with a payback period of 1.88. The comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of both systems has also favored the vapor compression refrigeration system to that of the absorption refrigeration system due to various parameters examined.
