Summary

FOLLOWING THE REVIEW OF PRINCIPAL POSSIBILITIES OF GENERATING COLD FROM SOLAR ENERGY PARTICULARLY WITH A VIEW TO LOCAL NEEDS IN TROPICAL REGIONS, THE SOLAR ABSORPTION REFRIGERATING MACHINE AND RANKINE/COMPRESSION REFRIGERATING MACHINE COMBINATIONS ARE STUDIED IN MORE DETAIL. PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS MAY BE EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL OR EVEN SUPERIOR TO SOLAR-THERMAL CONFIGURATIONS FOR GENERATING COLD IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE PRICE OF ALL SYSTEMS IS CURRENTLY STILL HIGHER THAN THAT OF CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM DRIVES.
