On the basis of previous research work on solar solid adsorption refrigeration, some advanced application methods for a solar ice maker have been studied. These include the design of no valve solar ice maker; experimental studies of working pairs for a solar ice maker using activated carbon-methanol and activated carbon-ethanol; the effects of sky cloud cover on a solar ice maker; and the efficient utilization of a solar ice maker with provision for heating and cooling. The provision of tables to assist in the choice of a mass-produced solar ice maker was also examined. Simulation of the solar solid refrigeration driven y solar concentrating trough collector are given too. These methods will speed the application of solar solid refrigeration.
