Benefits of technology

The invention is designed to increase cooling capacity as the amount of available solar energy increases. This means that when solar energy is low, the system cools less, and when solar energy is high, it cools more.

Problems solved by technology

The refrigerant then passes through a throttle valve, which leads to a sudden decrease in the pressure of the refrigerant.
However the usage of such chillers using solar energy is still not cost effective and there have been very limited installations of such systems, especially in residential buildings.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of the 1st embodiment of the refrigeration system. 301 is the evaporation chamber which is in thermal contact with the region to be cooled (denoted by region C). Let the target temperature of region C be denoted by Tc. The temperature in chamber 301, denoted by Te should be such that Tec. From the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant, the pressure inside the chamber 301, denoted by Pe is determined so that Te is the saturation temperature of the refrigerant in chamber 301. Chamber 301 absorbs heat from region C because of thermal contact between then causing the refrigerant to evaporate. On evaporation, refrigerant absorbs heat. Chamber 302 is the absorber chamber containing concentrated absorber, which is capable of absorbing refrigerant vapour. Presence of concentrated absorber also promotes evaporation of the refrigerant in chamber 301. Evaporated refrigerant from chamber 301 gets absorbed to the absorber in chamber 302. Absorption of re...

Abstract

The present invention provides a solar cooling system which is so small in size so that it can be used as a building material. The design based on absorption and adsorption refrigeration cycle has been developed to fulfill this objective. The design has been developed such that the system is completely independent and does not require any other source of energy apart from solar heat. Also an effort is made to design the system so that the cooling capacity is automatically increased or decreased based on available solar heat energy.
