Absorption Cooling System

Refrigeration systems are necessary for people living in hot climates. A majority of tropical and subtropical countries uses electrical power as a source of cooling. During the seasons of high ambient temperature there is a significant cooling load due to increased level of energy consumption. Cooling systems are therefore necessary in African countries in order to keep medications and food in safe conditions. Furthermore, there is a power shortage crisis due to the high demand for cooling. TRNSYS software allows to simulate a complete solar-powered absorption cooling system. A model used in an experiment includes PV modules making it advantageous over a conventional cooling system. PV modules of assumed area are sufficient to maintain the temperature inside cooling device below 6°C over the whole year.

"The present work repots the modelling of a solar air conditioning pilot plant to be installed in the Centro de Tecnología Avanzada (CIATEQ) in the city of Queretaro, México. The modelling was carried out by using the software Transient System Simulation Tool-16 (TRNSYS- 16). The pilot plant mainly consists of an absorption cooling system, a solar collector’s field, a hot water storage tank, a cooling tower and an air handler. The office of the CIATEQ were first modelling without an air conditioning unit and then with the proposed solar air conditioning pilot plant. The results showed that without air conditioning, temperatures higher than 28 ºC can be reached between the 12:00 and the 19:00 hours during spring and summer, while with the proposed pilot plant temperatures not higher than 25 ºC can be obtained during the whole year during the working hours."
