Abstract
A single effect one-stage absorption cooling system (ACS) is considered, coupled to a parabolic trough collector (PTC) and a fully mixed water storage tank (ST). Solar energy is absorbed and converted into thermal energy by the use of a PTC. It is then stored as hot water and used for running the desorber of an ACS designed to cover air conditioning cooling needs. Daily cooling loads were considered for a two-storeys house located in Muntenia, Romania (44.25N latitude). A model is introduced for controlling the mass of stored hot water inside the global system (PTC, ST and ACS) so that increasing or decreasing its value would maintain the ST water temperature within the required interval for optimum and longest ACS operation.
