摘要
This study focused on investigating the annual performance of a novel hybrid solar-driven cooling system that can be used on refrigerator vehicles. The cooling system is mainly driven by a DC compressor which is powered by a PV array, while an AC compressor which is powered by the car alternator assists the cooling system when the cooling load is higher than the capacity of the DC compressor. Detailed electrical modeling of the PV panels in the array is performed based on an algorithm that comprises a set of mathematical equations and is validated against the manufacturer's test data. The detailed transient electrical power generation of the PV array is analyzed. The effect of solar irradiation and ambient temperature on the performance of the PV modules is presented. Considering the refrigeration cycle, detailed thermodynamics and heat transfer analysis on the cycle are carried out. The effect of ambient temperature and refrigerator compartment temperature on the performance of the refrigeration cycle is investigated. It is concluded that an increase in ambient temperature decreases the performance of both the PV panel and the refrigeration cycle. While an increase in refrigerator compartment temperature increases the performance of the refrigeration cycle.
