Experiments On a Solar Vapour Absorption Refrigeration Cold Storage System
Abstract
Combining two rapidly growing technologies, such as solar energy and vapour absorption cold storage refrigeration, will result in an innovative solution to address the increasing demand for cold storage for food preservation systems. The effects of several operational parameters such as condenser temperature, evaporator temperature, and generator temperature on the performance of a solar Vapour absorption refrigeration cold storage system were studied in this work. Using solar energy, vapour absorption refrigeration system, a cold room cabin temperature of 8°C was achieved with a cooling load of 3.5 kW capacity and a hot water inlet temperature of 103.10°C, and a cooling water inlet temperature of 32.60°C during experimentation.
