REFRIGERATION SYSTEM BASED ON VAPOR-ABSORPTION CYCLE WITH SOLAR POWERED GENERATOR

Abstract

Energy is the life artery of the modern world and increasing CO2 emission represent a beginning of life‟s end, so the unique way for life continuity is more research in clean and renewable energy such as solar energy. One of the needful things in the field of solar energy application is the air conditioning and refrigeration. Due to various factors like pollution and the cost of non-renewable energy sources, the world is now moving towards renewable energy sources. One of the major renewable energy sources is the sun. Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy, but we haven't yet developed efficient technology to harness it for a variety of applications. As a result, the primary aim of this project will be to study and construct an environmentally friendly vapor absorption refrigeration system using solar energy. Evaporation, absorption, and regeneration are the three phases of the vapor absorption system, which consists of two fluids: lithium bromide and water. When the boiling point is low, refrigerants evaporate in this refrigeration system. They take some heat with them, producing a cooling effect, and they transform gas back into liquid. In this system, the compressor is replaced by a generator and an absorber
