Overview of Solar Assisted Cooling Technologies

摘要

Traditional air conditioning devices or vapor compression devices are the major consumers of power in epochal buildings. Public environment problems arise from the vapor compression device, like greenhouse gases emissions and also heat waste. The adaptation of solar energy elements to the vapor compression device will reduce these problems. The buildings sectors account for 30-40% of the consumption of energy of world and the manufacturing sector is the most energy-intensive sector. Solar energy is the most appropriate clean energy source which is utilized in cooling, heating and electricity generation in the building sector. Solar refrigeration is a cleaner and price-effective technology, solar chilling provides environmental advantages, including decreasing major grid request and shifting load during maximum usage and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The paper discusses the various solar technologies of refrigeration that can be used to provide the necessary cooling and cooling effect of solar energy.
