Solar
thermal air conditioning
Active solar cooling wherein
solar thermal collectors provide thermal energy
to drive thermally-driven chillers. The solar
thermal energy system can be also used to
produce hot water.
There are multiple alternatives
to compressor-based chillers that can reduce
energy consumption by 80%, with less noise and
vibration. Solar thermal energy can be used to
efficiently cool in the summer, and also heat
domestic hot water, and the building in the
winter. These units are normally used for
commercial and industrial applications where
large space cooling is required. These include
public institutions, shopping malls, hospitals,
banks, hotels, office buildings and many other.
Description
The solar air conditioner /
solar heater is powered by solar energy
collected in evacuated tube solar thermal
panels. The thermal energy is delivered to the
solar powered chiller using a Glycol
(antifreeze) solution and a simple but carefully
designed system of pipes, pumps and controllers.
Solar Heating and Cooling
In winter, even when it is below freezing
outside, the evacuated tube solar thermal
collectors produce an abundance of heat that
will be transferred into your building, either
reducing or eliminating the operation of your
existing heating system.
Absorption chiller air
conditioners are not new, they have been
commercially used since the early 20th century
and are a very widely deployed technology.
Absorption chiller AC units are also very
popular in Asian countries like Japan, where the
high cost of electricity make them very
desirable and they constitute up to 40% of all
installed commercial air conditioning tonnage.
They are simple and dependable, using no harmful
CFC (Freon, etc.) and some units actually
operate without any moving parts. When
engineered to run on solar energy the absorption
chiller AC units provide the lowest cost to
operate and the best return on investment of any
air conditioning system in the world.
The same technology is also used to run
solar powered
cold rooms
