Solar Ejector Air Conditioning and Refrigeration System
Abstract
Electricity consumption for cold generation purposes has become unacceptable from exergic, economic and environmental points of view. Solar powered ejector refrigeration systems (SERS) are therefore now suggested as one of the most promising and reliable cooling systems nowadays. A solar ejector system for air-conditioning and refrigeration should be one of the main types of air conditioners. For this purpose, comprehensive investigations are required that will allow creation of a range of technical solutions, aimed primarily at increasing energy and, consequently, economic efficiency. In addition, these systems should have the simplest and most reliable design and, in fact, should become one of the elements of communication facilities, along with water and heat supplies. In the residential buildings sector, household refrigerators could operate along with air-conditioners as an integrated system, powered by single solar collectors.
