The performance of an absorption solar cooling system operated under Taiwan climate is studied via computer simulation. Solar energy is utilized as the driving energy for an absorption cooling system, and a TRNSYS computer code is employed to simulate the operation of the system. Climate data in TMY2 form for five major cities of Taiwan are input to the simulation program. Also system operating parameters of solar collector area and the size of the storage tank are varied to study there effects on the system performance. This research provides computer simulation data for the monthly solar fraction (f) as well as the seasonal solar fraction (F) for the absorption solar cooling system operated under the climate of the major cities in Taiwan. The data can provide the design needs.

A solar cooling system with an optimized air-cooled double-effect water/LiBr absorption machine is proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet cooling demands in dry hot climates. This system allows eliminating the cooling towers in those regions of the planet where water is scarce. This work analyses the environmental benefits of this air-cooled system, as well as its environmental foot-prints, compared to a solar water-cooled single effect. In this regard, a methodology has been applied to calculate the annual saving in water consumption produced in a case study: a hospital located in Almer?a, in South of Spain. Further-more, the reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions is also quantified since this machine can be driven by solar energy and with higher efficiency than those of single effect.
