Experimental Analysis of Solar Air Conditioning System

At present, the greater use of air-conditioning systems led to an expansion in the use of electrical energy highlighting the contemporary energy crisis.Excessive use of air-conditioning systems has led to significant increase of energy consumption. An air-conditioning system utilizing solar energy would generally be more efficient, cost wise, if it is used to provide both heating and cooling requirements in the field it serves. Various solar powered heating systems have been tested extensively, but solar powered air conditioning systems have received very little attention. Solar powered absorption cooling systems can serve both heating and cooling requirements in the field it serves. Therefore experimental analysis of solar powered absorption cooling system is going to be carried out with Li-Br water pair. Also economic analysis of the solar powered absorption cooling system will be taken.results for three days have been considered in analysis. The average coefficient of performance was achieved during the experiment was 0.33. The maximum and minimum value of cop is 0.21 and 0.35 respectively. Room temperature achieved in between 22 to 25℃.therefore, moderate amount of cooling has been achieved. The economic analysis shows that the cost of the system is still higher.At present, the greater use of air-conditioning systems led to an expansion in the use of electrical energy highlighting the contemporary energy crisis.Excessive use of air-conditioning systems has led to significant increase of energy consumption.
