This paper presents the simulation of a solar-powered continuous adsorption air-conditioning system with the working pair of silica gel and water. In order to make the adsorption system more suitable to use solar energy to supply cooling continuously during daytime, a new adsorption system without refrigerant valves is being developed in SJTU recently. By using this system, the problem such as pressure drop along refrigerant circuit can be resolved. The frequent switches of refrigerant valves can also be omitted. The daytime long simulation results (ranging from 6:00 to 18:00) demonstrate that the solar-powered adsorption system can supply a fairly steady cooling output all the time. Based on the results, parametric study is also undertaken to optimize the design.

An adsorption system driven by solar heat or waste heat can help to eliminate the use of ozone depletion substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). In recent years, adsorption system has witnessed an increasing interest in many fields due to the fact that this system is quiet, long lasting, cheap to maintain and environmentally benign. Although adsorption system is not commonly used for automobile air conditioning, adsorption-cooled mini-refrigerators have been marketed for recreational transports (motor homes, boats, etc). Hence, there exists a need for a creative design and innovation to allow adsorption technology to be practical for air conditioning in automobile. The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive review on the past efforts in the field of solar adsorption refrigeration systems and also the feasibility study of this technology for automobile airconditioning purpose. It is a particularly an attractive application for solar energy because of the near coincidence of peak cooling loads with the available of solar power.

Air Conditioning Systems

An air-conditioning system utilizing solar energy would generally be more efficient, cost wise, if it was used to provide both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Various solar powered heating systems have been tested extensively, but solar powered air conditioning systems have received very little attention. Solar powered absorption cooling systems can serve both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Many researchers have studied the solar absorption air conditioning system in order to make it economically and technically viable. But still, much more research in this area is needed. This paper will help many researchers working in this area and provide them with fundamental knowledge on absorption systems, and a detailed review on the past efforts in the field of solar absorption cooling systems with the absorption pair of lithium-bromide and water. This knowledge will help them to start the parametric study in order to investigate the influence of key parameters on the overall system performance.

Simulation Results

The air-conditioning system is a source of energy consumption and consequently, it has a strong influence on the fuel consumption, the engine load and the pollutant emissions. The air-conditioning system has to be accounted for in the energy balance under the hood. This system is composed of a variable displacement compressor including an internal regulation valve. In this paper, we model a complete system step by step. We build the compressor system and gradually add components so as to end up with the complete system. The simulation results shows that when the suction pressure becomes at some point smaller than the regulation pressure, the valve controls the compressor displacement and tends to reduce it in order to maintain a certain level for the suction pressure. It will be easier to observe the influence of the regulation valve on the complete refrigerant loop system.
