Abstract
The energy saving issues are becoming necessary worldwide, as excessive consumption of energy leads to the consumption of a larger amount of fuel, increases environmental pollution and negatively affects the ozone layer. In Iraq, in particular, the demand for central air conditioning systems and home air conditioners with high electrical capacity has become increasingly clear in the recent years. Air conditioning systems within residential and public buildings, as well as government facilities became a necessity for good internal comfort, which was driven by desertification, high temperature, air pollution and increased population, resulting in increased consumption of electric power and pressing of power plants. Aiming at usage of renewable energy sources, the proposed system uses solar collectors as auxiliary solar thermal compressors and integrate them with air conditioning systems. The proposed solution will increase the cooling system efficiency, reduce electricity consumption and pollution.
Highlights
The high demand for air conditioners in Iraq due to high temperatures in summer led to an increase in electricity consumption [1]
As the load on electricity increases, the solar energy becomes attractive once the system is installed [3]
This paper focuses on developing and improving the standard air conditioning unit for working with solar energy as an auxiliary system of the traditional compressor to reduce energy consumption, environmental pollution and noise
Summary
The high demand for air conditioners in Iraq due to high temperatures in summer (sometimes temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius) led to an increase in electricity consumption [1]. Air conditioning is the process of controlling the air characteristics, namely temperature, humidity, purity and distribution method to suit the application [2]. Air conditioning is known as air cooling, which is a process of heat removal. This process needs energy, the source of which is usually electricity. As the load on electricity increases, the solar energy becomes attractive once the system is installed [3]. Solar energy, being one of the sources of renewable energy, is likely to be the most suitable system for installation in sub-tropical countries
