Abstract

A Platen-Munters refrigerator has been modified to operate with heat collected from solar energy conversion in a solar thermal continuous cycle refrigeration system. The results show that temperatures as low as −19°C are routinely achievable. The incorporation of a solar thermal battery can increase the refrigeration period to as long as 10 hours to provide cooling power for as long as 36 hours.
