Download or read book The Solar Cooling Design Guide written by Daniel Mugnier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cooling systems can be a cost-effective and environmentally attractive air-conditioning solution. The design of such systems, however, is complex. Research carried out under the aegis of the International Energy Agency's Solar Heating and Cooling Program has shown that there is a range of seemingly subtle design decisions that can impact significantly on the performance of solar cooling systems. In order to reduce the risk of errors in the design process, this guide provides detailed and very specific engineering design information. It focuses on case study examples of installed plants that have been monitored and evaluated over the last decade. For three successful plants the design process is described in detail and the rationale for each key design decision is explained. Numerical constraints are suggested for the sizing / selection parameters of key equipment items. Moreover, the application conditions under which the system selection is appropriate are discussed. By following The Guide for any of the three specific solar cooling systems, the designer can expect to reliably achieve a robust, energy-saving solution. This book is intended as a companion to the IEA Solar Cooling Handbook which provides a general overview of the various technologies as well as comprehensive advice to enable engineers to design their own solar cooling system from first principles.

Download or read book Solar Space Cooling in California written by Kenneth L. Osia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a variety of air conditioning technologies on the market that can be adapted to be powered with solar energy generated onsite. It is currently unclear whether systems utilizing these technologies for space cooling will be cost effective on the residential scale. It is also unclear where these technologies will be most effective or cost competitive, since the performance of solar cooling technologies is highly dependent on ambient weather conditions. In this analysis computer-modeling techniques are used to compare the technical and economic performance of a variety of solar cooling systems in order to determine which are most competitive under a set of different weather conditions. The performance of absorption, adsorption, evaporative, desiccant, and photovoltaic powered vapor-compression systems are simulated using weather data corresponding to six California climate zones. This is done using existing baseline weather data and weather data modified to reflect global warming projections for northern and southern California. Rebates and tax credits available through government incentive programs are then applied to determine which systems are financially competitive with traditional heating and cooling systems. When incentives and warming due to climate change are accounted for, the photovoltaic powered vapor-compression system achieves the best simple payback of 12 years. While solar thermal systems including the absorption, adsorption and evaporative cooler/solar hot water heater can produce significant energy saving in all climate zones, high capital costs and an absence of applicable incentives contribute to long payback periods. State-of-the-art desiccant cooling technologies have the potential to become financially competitive, but this will require adoption of financial incentives to support these technologies.
