Life cycle assessment of a conventional and alternative air-conditioning system.

Author(s) : KOLTUN P., RAMAKRISHNAN S., DOROSHENKO A., et al.

Summary

Alternative solar systems include a large number of heat- and mass transfer exchange apparatus (HMTA) with considerable-size surfaces, required for realization of the work processes. This results in the increase in the overall dimensions, weight and cost of the system. The possibility of using the principle of combining the working and auxiliary processes within the HMTA has been considered, and the calculations, proving the working ability of the alternative system for solving the task of air conditioning obtaining comfort parameters by employing evaporative air-cooling methods only, and a solar system with flat solar collectors to provide for the absorbent regeneration, have been performed. The study shows the importance in using the life cycle assessment study for renewable energy technologies, where environmental performance is especially important.
