This paper presents a thermoeconomic analysis of polygeneration system based on solar-assisted desiccant cooling. The overall plant layout supplies electricity, space heating and cooling, domestic hot water, freshwater for residential building. combines photovoltaic/thermal collectors, photovoltaic panels, biomass boiler coupled with reverse osmosis air conditioning. was modeled in TRNSYS simul...

dry areas near the sea can obtain fresh water through solar distillation of saline sea water resources. however, these solar distillation sites produce wastewater as a result of desalination of sea water with high salt concentration. waste must be disposed of with the least effect on the receiving environment (sea, in most cases). initial dilution and its characteristics play important roles in...

Solar energy is used for solar water heater in domestic and industrial purpose. Pulsating heat pipe is a fast responding, flexible and high performance thermal conducting device. The CLPHP system described in this study relies on the natural forces of gravity and capillary action and does not require an external power source. The flat plate collector consisted of a 2 mm thick sheet of Aluminum ...

The performance of a solar hot water thermosyphon system was tested with the dynamic system method according to Standard ISO/CD/9459.5. The system is of closed circuit type and consists of two flat plate collectors with total aperture area of 2.74 m and of a 170 liters hot water storage tank. The system was modeled according to the procedures outlined in the standard with the weather conditions...

integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. a new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. the proposed system includes evacuated tube so...

s The use of brackish water in the Saloum Delta in Senegal can be made by combining the processes of desalination as a source of solar energy, usually thermal and photovoltaic processes for membrane distillation. But the demand for energy is growing; the use of solar energy can be a good solution, given the high solar potential in these areas. Different experiences around the world have shown t...

In Canada, more than 80% of energy in the residential sector is used for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) production. This study aimed to model compare performance four different systems, using solar as a renewable source DHW A novel microchannel (MC) thermal collector microchannel-based hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) were fabricated (utilizing heat exchanger both cases), mathemati...
