Summary

Adsorptive cycles are well adapted to solar refrigeration. Solar ice makers (with an activated carbon-methanol pair) are described. Their major originality lies in the assembly of solar collector and condenser in a unique component: the collecto-condenser. A "standard" ice maker and two prototypes were tested in actual conditions in Agadir, Morocco. Performances are described. Experimental data are sufficient for establishing a statistical correlation between heat extraction and meteorological parameters: insolation, diurnal and nocturnal temperatures. The influences of these parameters are also evaluated through operation analysis. Both approaches are rather consistent.
