A solar-powered absorption cooling system consists of several key components including an absorption chiller, a solar thermal collector, and additional parts such as pumps and valves.
In this paper, a recent development of application using concentrated direct absorption solar collector on nanofluids is comprehensively discussed. Our emphasis is on concentrating solar collector including parabolic trough, parabolic dish, heliostat field collector and Fresnel solar collector.
Their results revealed that integrated solar absorption cooling and heating systems have potential to save total cost and CO 2 emission, and it is more attractive when natural gas is used as system backup energy. The energy performance depends on the building type and location.
Accordingly, solar concentrator collectors could act as a fitting heat source for absorption chillers, since they have the ability to provide high temperatures. With this regard, the present work is undertaken with the aim to review the literature on the absorption and adsorption chillers integrated with solar concentrator collectors.
A generic absorption chiller-based solar cooling system. The incident solar radiation absorbed by solar thermal collectors increases the temperature of a storage medium (thermal storage) through a heat transfer fluid circulated by a pump in the solar loop.
