Abstract

Solar energy is an alternative energy source for cooling systems where electricity is demand or expensive. Many solar assisted cooling systems have been installed in different countries for domestic purpose. Many researches are going on to achieve economical and efficient thermal systems when compared with conventional systems. This paper reviews the past efforts of solar assisted-single effect vapor absorption cooling system using LiBr-H2O mixture for residential buildings. Solar assisted single-effect absorption cooling systems were capable of working in the driving temperature range of 70–100 °C. In this system LiBr-H2O are the major working pairs and has a higher COP than any other working fluids. Besides the review of the past theoretical and experimental investigations of solar single effect absorption cooling systems, some new ideas were introduced to minimize the capital and operational cost, to reduce heat loss from generator and thus to increase COP to get effective cooling.
