Abstract
The objectives of this study are to examine the use of the technology of Cooling Air by Solar Energy (CASE), which is used in air-conditioning applications to minimize the consumption of energy, as well as minimize CO2 emissions. The study also aims at providing an overview of different CASE technologies and analyzing the environmental feasibility of selected CASE technologies in Jordan. The methodology used involves a field study of one of the CASE technologies, which has been designed and developed in Jordan, to determine its technical feasibility. The environmental feasibility study has been done on the device used in this work in four scenarios. The results of the analysis of both energy and environmental feasibility have shown that the use of the CASE technology reduces greenhouse gases compared with Vapor Compression Chillers (VCC) that use electricity.Keywords: solar air-cooling; vapor compression chillers; greenhouse gases; energy analysisJEL Classifications: P18, Q40, Q43, Q51DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11701
Highlights
The future supply of energy in Jordan is of high concern, and it is completely dependent on imported oil and its products
While the refrigerants used in normal refrigeration cycles no longer have a potential for Ozone Depletion (OD), they do have a significant potential for Global Warming (GW) due to chiller leakage
Different scenarios were assumed to check the environmental feasibility of ADC-2 based on the weather in Jordan
Summary
The future supply of energy in Jordan is of high concern, and it is completely dependent on imported oil and its products. Jordan’s growing demand for air conditioning necessitates the use of Vapor Compression Chillers (VCC) These systems have a remarkable adverse effect on the environment in two ways: by increasing CO2 emissions due to the increase in the consumption of energy and by causing ecological problems due to refrigerant use. Jordan currently has only two AC building systems in operation, the Aqaba Residency Energy Proficiency (AREP) and the Dead Sea Hotel and Spa, with theoretical cooling capacities of 10 kW and 17.5 kW, respectively. This is because of the high technical difficulties associated with such systems, which are designated for the conditions of European weather, which differ from those in Jordan, and, the shortage of local experience with CASE technology
