As the world concerns more and more on global climate changes and depleting energy resources, solar cooling technology receives increasing interests from the public as an environment-friendly and sustainable alternative. However, making a competitive solar cooling machine for the market still remains a challenge to the academic and industrial communities. In an effort to meet this challenge, this thesis reports the R&D activities carried out for the development of a new solar cooling machine, which works with low-temperature heat from economic flat solar thermal collectors based on a half-effect LiBr-water absorption refrigeration cycle. This thesis consists of 8 chapters, each of which is dedicated for the description of a specific part of the R&D activities carried out in the development. |
