Summary

To study the feasibility of utilizing solar power for comfort cooling in Hong Kong, a solar-powered absorption air-conditioning system was designed and constructed. The system consisted of a flat-plate collector array, a water-lithium bromide absorption chiller, a hot-water storage tank, a cooling tower, a fan-coil unit, an electrical auxiliary heater, a data-acquisition system and the associated control systems. The design of the solar-powered air-conditioning system is described in detail and its performance over an entire cooling season is also discussed and compared with similar systems in Italy and Singapore.
