Abstract

This paper investigates the relative performance of a thermally activated, environmentally friendly cooling system: a NH3-H2O resorption system. This system can be driven at relatively low heat source temperatures such as those achieved by solar collectors. The study explores the relative thermal performance, i.e. the performance coefficient (COP) and refrigeration capacity of the system, and a qualitative comparison based on the type of solar collector, i.e. compound parabolic collector. The geographical functioning location of the system was chosen for the city of Brasov, Romania for July.
