English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Energy Transformation
  • Modern Construction Methods
CONT

In contrast to other types of solar applications such as solar heating, the biggest demand for cooling occurs when the solar radiation is at its most intense, thereby making the marriage of solar thermal energy and solar cooling all the more attractive.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
DEF

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).

  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
DEF

Utilisation de l'énergie solaire à des fins de réfrigération.

CONT

Produire du froid à partir du soleil peut être d'autant plus intéressant que les pays qui ont le plus besoin de réfrigération solaire sont les pays fortement ensoleillés.
