Assembling Latent Heat Storage To Dry Air Cooling at Solar Cooling Condenser
Abstract
Conventional sorption based solar cooling systems require a wet cooling tower (to dissipate the heat at condenser) which slows down their commercial development for small and mid range systems (<30 kW) because of a restrictive maintenance against Legionellosis risks (mainly in France and Spain). To substitute wet cooling technology by dry air cooling one generates furthers electricity consumptions (30 %) and make the cooling process less efficient during hot days with high ambient temperatures .
