Solar Coefficient of Performance Evaluation of an Intermittent Adsorption Refrigeration System with Composite Adsorbent

Mechanical engineering (HEAT POWER)

The sun is a magnificent energy source for us. It is clean and harmless comes to the earth for free. The devices need to gather its energy is simple, quiet and non-polluting. International environment protection initiatives have led to the intensification of research efforts on development of ozone layer and global warming safe refrigeration technology. In recent years, more attention is being given to the use of waste heat and solar energy in the field of engineering refrigerating systems. Solar powered refrigeration and air-conditioning system have been very attractive during the last twenty years, since the availability of sunshine and the need for refrigeration both reach maximum levels in the summer season. The conventional cooling technologies are generally based on the electrically driven refrigeration system. These systems require high levels of primary energy consumption, causing electricity peak loads and employ refrigerants which cause environmental pollution. Solar adsorption refrigeration is an option to gain on the drawbacks of the conventional cooling system. The objective of this project is to set down an alternative eco-friendly refrigeration cycle for producing a temperature usually comes upon in a conventional refrigerator. By manufacturing such type of refrigerator adds new importance to the world of refrigeration. This refrigerator gives some amount of relief to the refrigeration world by making it freewheeling from electric power supply and zero running cost.
