Innovative and energy efficient concept for solar cooling (DHW/cooling hybrid strategy): practical first results

摘要

Within the framework of the French program called Emergence aimed at financing high quality solar heating and cooling demonstration projects, a first solar cooling installation was designed in 2011, and then installed on the beginning of 2012. This installation is based on an innovative and energy efficient concept to optimize solar energy valorization all year long: hybrid solar Domestic Hot Water and cooling strategy. The actual monitoring data won't be shown on this document since the implementation of the system is still not over at the time of the paper redaction, but simulation data will be shown. This document will also give a feedback about implementing such systems and will show the high interest of such strategy to combine long term quality, simplicity of use and economical efficiency.
