Solar powered cooling: an optimal approach.

Author(s) : SYED A., MAIDMENT G., TOZER R., et al.

Summary

Solar powered cooling offers a sustainable and low energy solution for refrigeration applications. For most applications, there is a coincidence between peak solar gain and peak cooling demand. By using solar energy to drive a cooling cycle, it is possible to produce cooling virtually coincident with the refrigeration demand and is thus a viable technology for sustainable building design. This paper presents an overview of the state-of-the-art of solar cooling. It describes the technologies, applications, efficiencies, economics, thermodynamics, optimisation and finally experimentation with solar cooling systems.
