SOLAR EVACUATED TUBE COLLECTOR—ABSORPTION CHILLER SYSTEMS SIMULATION

摘要

A lithium-bromide absorption air conditioner is being commercially produced by Arkla Industries in a three-ton size for use with residential solar systems. The widespread incorporation of residential solar cooling systems could substantially reduce the load on the electrical power generation network and possibly reduce the cost of residential air conditioning in many areas.nPrevious research indicates that evacuated tube solar collectors are much more efficient at collecting solar energy in the temperature range of absorption chiller operation.
