Summary

The system consists of a solar collector, a storage tank, a boiler and a LiBr-water absorption refrigerator. The system is modelled with the TRNSYS simulation programme using appropriate equations predicting the performance of the unit. Economic analysis has shown that for such a system to be economically competitive compared with conventional cooling systems, its capital cost should be below C£ 2000. However, the system has a lower TEWI (1.2 times lower than that of conventional cooling systems).
