Solar powered adsorption refrigeration system is renewable source in the future energy demands and more useful for off-grid area. In this paper a mathematical model was developed to investigate the performance of a cooling cabinet of a activated carbon-ammonia adsorption refrigeration system, and a new effective method about the refrigeration studies. A brief thermodynamic study of the cooling cabinet is carried out and the effect of operating parameters such as temperature, pressure, cooling effect of the system is numerically analyzed. The impact of solar intensity on performance of the system is significant. The cooling cabinet model is completely analysied for varies capacity and it is able to calculate the cooling cabinet coil length .The designed mathematical model is analyzed by the use of coolpack software and the results are compared with ansys software. It is observed that the system operate more efficient while maximum solar intensity and the cooling effect. Key words: Solar, Adsorption Refrigeration, Mathematical model, Analysis, Solar intensity.

A complete steady state thermodynamic differential analysis is developed for the adsorption-based refrigeration systems. The introduced thermodynamic model accurately represents the behaviour of adsorption cooling systems, based on a precise, reasonable, and clear fundamental approach. Based on the energy conservation principle, all components and processes in the system are analyzed. The dynamics of adsorption is expressed by the Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption equilibrium model. All types of energy interactions are evaluated in order to determine the theoretical performance and the operating parameters of the system. Moreover, the actual thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant are considered in developing the model. The case studied is an ice maker which uses activated carbon-methanol as the working pair.
