Desiccant cooling systems are basically open cycle systems, using water as refrigerant in direct contact with air. ...
SOLAR THERMAL IS HERE TO STAY Artic Solar, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of a revolutionary high-temperature solar thermal technology. The XCPC collector utilizes cutting-edge developments in non-imaging optics to provide industrial and facility heating and cooling at lower cost than any other renewable energy source. It is the only roof-mountable solar heating technology with the ...
In this paper, energy and exergy analyses of an absorption cooling system using H2O/LiBr and solar energy as heat source are conducted. A simple schematic of a chiller and an improved one, are compared using Thermoptim and EES software. An increase in the coefficient of performance (COP) from 0.69 to 0.8 was noticed. Numerical simulations are performed for six values of the condensing/absorption ...
As renewable energy plays an increasingly important role in the world’s energy portfolio, the standards of ASTM International Committee E44 are helping to pave the way for innovation in clean energy sources. A growing population and improving living standards around the world are causing significant increases in energy demand and competition for fossil fuels. These escalating energy ...
The energy demand in building sectors for summer air–conditioning is growing exponentially due to global warming, increased living standards and occupant comfort demands throughout the last decades. Concerns over these environmental changes have begun shifting the emphasis from current cooling methods, to 'sustainable strategies' of achieving equally comfortable conditions in building interiors. ...
In this paper, a new hybrid geothermal and solar driven absorption cooling system (ACS) is proposed for low–temperature district energy applications. Two approaches are proposed in this study, namely: a) a new model for determining the specific entropy values of LiBr–water solution and (b) two new energetic and exergetic parameters, namely geothermal contribution index and solar contribution ...
Cooling system with low capacity utilising solar power can be widely used for remote and rural cooling applications. This paper describes the trend of solar insolation for a period of one year at Tiruvannamalai town, a district capital in Tamil Nadu state, South India which is geographically located at latitude 12.229 N, longitude 79.076 E. The performance of a compact solar refrigeration system ...
