Abstract

The performance of a solar sorption refrigerator is studied experimentally for three configurations of its collector cover: with single glazing, with double glazing and with single glazing plus transparent insulation. The collector consists of fifteen stainless steel tubes having a selective surface (with good thermal absorption coefficient) and contains granular activated carbon adsorbent with ammonia refrigerant. The collector surface area is approximately 1.43 m 2 and contains about 17 kg of carbon. The collector operates with good efficiency (36 to 47% depending on conditions) when in the single glazing configuration.
