Solar Cooling in Slovakia

Abstract:

Up to now, developed absorption refrigeration units with a great power from 30 to 6000 kW were not usable for smaller objects but only for the industrial buildings and the objects of a major character. The development of the sorption cooler with low-power (2-20kW) is a modern subject of research. One of the possibilities of alternative energy production is to use the Sun as an inexhaustible source of energy to power absorption unit. The research is based on an experimental device (absorption units with a performance of 10kW) developed at the STU in Bratislava (currently inputs and outputs of cold sources are being measured). Outputs in this paper are processed so that they connect the entire scheme of the solar absorption cooling system (i.e. the relationship between the solar systems hot and cold storage and the absorption unit).
