Type of article: Article

Summary

DETAILS OF THE DESIGN WHICH INCLUDE ABSORPTION TYPE CHILLERS AND FLAT-PLATE SOLAR COLLECTOR PANELS ARE DISCUSSED TOGETHER WITH INFORMATION ON COMPONENT AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR THE DESIGN OF SOLAR COLLECTOR PIPING ARRAYS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO OVERCOME NON-UNIFORMITY FLOW PROBLEMS IN PARALLEL PIPING CIRCUITS. THE PAPER ASSESSES THE MINIMUM SOLAR INSOLATION LEVEL REQUIRED, USEFUL ENERGY AND THE MINIMUM SOLAR FRACTION (OF INPUT ENERGY) NECESSARY FOR SOLAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. SOLAR SYSTEMS USING ABSORPTION CHILLERS WITH AUXILIARY ENERGY PROVIDED BY A BOILER CANNOT CONSERVE ENERGY UNLESS THE SOLAR COLLECTOR AREA IS PROHIBITIVELY LARGE.
