Abstract
Many research studies have been carried out to develop small capacity absorption cooling systems as an alternative to conventional vapour compression refrigeration (VCR) systems with respect to performance and economic aspects. The aim of this work is to design a solar assisted single effect absorption cooling system of 5.25 kW cooling capacity to cool a room having floor area of 15 m2. Based on the design, an experimental setup is constructed and operated by supplying heat to the generator using solar energy. The performance analysis of the cooling system is carried out by measuring the various operational parameters. The minimum cooling temperature of 16°C is observed in the evaporator and maximum COP of 0.9 is obtained when the hot water storage tank reaches 90°C. As per this new design, the operational cost is minimized and the COP obtained is slightly higher when compared to that of earlier similar works.
