The study of solar absorption air-conditioning systems

Scientists have developed an environmentally friendly cooling technology that does not
harm the ozone layer. This is achieved by using solar energy and therefore reducing the use of
greenhouse gases. In air conditioning system, scientist utilize an air conditioning systems based
on solar energy. Scientist choose solar energy because its more efficient, cost wise and its also
the most easiest energy to get in this world. The earth received about
which is
equivalent to 500 000 oil barrel that is one thousand times any oil reserve known to man.
For solar absorption air-conditioning systems, there are two main concept, solar thermal
technologies for the conversion of solar heat into hot water, and the solar cooling technologies
for the cold production. For solar thermal technologies, it consists of flat plate collectors.
evacuated tube collectors, non-imaging collectors, dish type, concentrating collectors, solar
pond, and photovoltaic.
In Solar absorption air conditioning system, the system first absorbs the low pressure
vapor in an appropriate absorbing liquid. Embodied in the absorption process is the conversion
of vapor into liquid, and since the process is akin to condensation, heat must be rejected during
the process. Next step is to elevate the pressure of the liquid with a pump, and the final step
releases the vapor from the absorbing liquid by adding heat. The vapor compression cycle is a
Work operated cycle because the elevation of pressure of the refrigerant is accomplished by a
compressor that requires work. The absorption cycle on the other hand, is referred to as a heat
operated cycle because most of the operating cost is associated with providing heat that drives
off the vapor from the high pressure liquid.
Performance of the refrigeration system for solar driven system is a product of the
coefficient of performance COP and the solar collector efficiency (c). Besides, it can be defined
as a ratio of the refrigeration effect and the solar energy input (I) for the thermal-driven systems,
which is called system thermal ratio (STR).
There are still a lot of information that we need to make all of this invention is widely use
in the future. As a conclusion, the solar absorption air conditioning system gives a supply of
sunshine with the refrigeration function. The system is still new and needed more research to be
done to increase its uses and also cost to be more user friendly and cheap. The system gives the
essential plan for the use of energy other than electricity that can lead to saving energy uses for
the user.
