Design of a Solar Thermal Powered Air-Conditioner: Alternate Energy Source

The project basically deals with the feasibility of solar air-conditioning system and it’s designing which uses lithium bromide and water as absorbent and refrigerant respectively, Heat and mass balance have been conducted on each component including solar collectors in order to attain desired values. The system basically runs on absorption refrigeration cycle having four main components generator, condenser evaporator and absorber the details of the cycle and how it works are presented comprehensively with complete formulation of the designing of each and every component except the auxiliaries which includes solution pumps, storage tank and expansion valves they have directly been taken from the manufacturers since their designing was out of the scope of our project.
