AN ENERGY EFFICIENT HYBRID SYSTEM OF SOLAR POWERED WATER HEATER AND ADSORPTION ICE MAKER

摘要

A new hybrid system of solar powered water heater and adsorption ice maker has been proposed. The working principle of the combined cycles of solar refrigeration and heating is described, theoretical Simulation to the thermodynamic processes has been made. Experiments have been performed in a developed Pototype hybrid system; it is verified that the hybrid system is capable of heating 60 kg water to about 90 deg C as Well as producing ice at 10 kg per day with a 2-m~2 solar collector.
