The use of solar thermal energy of solar electricity to power a colling appliance.

CONT

Solar assisted cooling can be divided in three broad categories: 1) Systems that provide refrigeration (either by a system using absorption cooling or by a conventional vapour-compression air conditioning unit ... 2) Dehumidification systems (air is dried and then cooled by evaporation. Solar energy is used as the source of heat for regenerating the air-dehumidifying agent) 3) Natural cooling methods. Heat is transferred during the day from the warm house to the storage medium from where it is given off to the night air and sky by convection and radiation).
