Experimental Work on Salt-Based Cooling Systems

The energy consumption for space cooling is progressively increasing. Integrating renewable into systems critical reducing CO2 emissions from the building sector. salt-based system an appealing alternative as it can be charged by solar energy. This based on characteristic of endothermic salts, which generate a considerable effect when dissolved in water. A screening test was performed this work to evaluate performance several salts. Furthermore, laboratory-scale developed demonstrate thermal storage and generation system. Temperature decreases up 12.3 °C were observed containing Potassium Chloride salt. temperature drop maintained after underwent charging/discharging cycle; however, period shortened. demonstrated inherent low efficiency due large volume water required discharging phase, demanding amount evaporate charging phase. As result, application will restricted usage low-grade during
