In this paper, using parabolic mirrors, a solar field was designed, which was related to a storage tank for a residential complex in the city of Tafresh located in the center of Iran. The design was performed for the existing oils: VP1, THERMINOL 66, THERMINOL 59. Finally, considering an organic cycle with R123 as working fluid and assuming a minimum length required for oil flow rate to reach a...

Heat driven cooling technologies like vapour absorption and adsorption systems are environmentally friendly. Use of thermal compression in these systems saves precious and fast-depleting fossil fuel resources. Solar energy and low-grade waste heat can be effectively used in running these cooling systems. The present work focuses on the development of a solar-powered vapour adsorption based cool...

In the present work, a prototype of a new type of solar collectors, which called Direct Absorption Solar Collector, was built and its thermal performance is experimentally compared with conventional flat plate solar collector under transient and steady state conditions. Different volume fractions of multi wall carbon nanotubes in water and ethylene glycol mixture (70%:30% in volume) were used a...

Increasing comfort conditions in buildings imply higher energy demands. However, these needs can be mitigated by solar cooling solutions. These systems, such as absorption chillers, are complex and require stable operation, with strict control to maximise the fraction minimise gas consumption. This is incompatible variability of renewable resources, so they often coupled auxiliary systems. Alth...

This research work aims to investigate and subsequently optimize the operating parameters that affect thermal comfort indoor air quality in school environment. The proposed design uses a coupling between solar ventilation absorption chiller-air conditioning. heating tower of an adsorption chiller connected conditioning system can be driven by waste heat from (exhausted hot air) thank this linka...
