摘要
This paper presents the simulation of a solar-powered absorption air conditioning system with the absorption pair of lithium bromide and water. An attempt is made to increase the COP of the system by partitioning a single storage tank into two parts. In the morning when sunshine is low, the upper part is activated, and in the afternoon, the whole (upper and lower) tank is connected to the collector. The analysis indicates that it is preferable to utilize a partitioned water tank rather than the normal stratified water tank because the cooling effect can be realized much earlier compared to the normal stratified water storage tank. Also, the overall cooling efficiency (cooling load to total solar energy ratio) was found to be higher for the partitioned storage air conditioning system. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
