SOLAR ABSORPTION COOLING: EFFECT OF OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS ON POWER SAVING.

Author(s) : SURI R. K., AYYASH S.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

THE ELECTRICAL POWER CONSUMPTION OF A VAPOUR COMPRESSION WATER CHILLER IS COMPARED WITH THAT OF SOLAR DRIVEN ABSORPTION REFRIGERATION UNIT HAVING THE SAME COOLING CAPACITY. THE CALCULATIONS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY THE RESPECTIVE REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR AND SOLUTION PUMP POWER REQUIREMENTS BUT ALSO THOSE OF THE CHILLED WATER AND COOLING WATER PUMPS AND THE COOLING TOWER FAN. THE LOWER COP OF THE ABSORPTION UNIT REQUIRES A LARGER COOLING WATER CIRCULATION AND THEREFORE USES MORE POWER FOR AUXILIARIES. THE SOLAR DRIVEN LITHIUM BROMIDE-WATER SYSTEM IS ONLY ATTRACTIVE WHEN THE GENERATOR TEMPERATURE IS HIGH, AND EVEN SO THE ADVANTAGES ARE GENERALLY NOT LARGE.
