UTILISATION OF SOLAR ENERGY FOR REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING.

Author(s) : TABOR H.

Summary

A DIFFERENTIATION IS MADE BETWEEN AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION AND BETWEEN INDUSTRIALISED AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THIS PAPER CONSIDERS ONLY AIR CONDITIONING IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND REFRIGERATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. FOR AIR CONDITIONING, FOR THE SAME TOTAL COP, THERMAL (ABSORPTION) CYCLES REQUIRE FROM SOLAR COLLECTORS MUCH LOWER TEMPERATURES THAN TURBINE (ENGINE) MECHANICAL CYCLES COMBINED WITH A COMPRESSOR, BECAUSE THE COP OF PRESENT COMPRESSORS IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE THEORETICAL VALUE. FOR REFRIGERATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, THERMAL CYCLES APPEAR TO BE MORE UTILISABLE IN PRACTICE, BUT LARGE SCALE USE ISHINDERED BY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
