Solar Refrigeration System Types

What are the different types of solar refrigeration methods?

Solar refrigeration methods such as Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Methods have been discussed. In solar thermal methods, various methods like Desiccant Refrigeration, Absorption Refrigeration and Adsorption Refrigeration has been discussed.

What is a solar refrigeration system?

It is the refrigeration system that runs on the solar energy where the power is supplied not by the electrical supply system, but from the solar panel. In this process we produce refrigeration effect with the help of energy of sun and thermal energy or photovoltaic may be included in this.

What are the different types of solar cooling?

Cooling can be achieved through four basic methods: solar PV cooling, solar thermo-electrical cooling, solar thermo-mechanical cooling, and solar thermal cooling. The first is a PV-based solar energy system, where solar energy is converted into electrical energy and used for refrigeration much like conventional methods .

Which methods are available for utilizing solar energy for refrigeration purposes?

In this paper, a review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for utilizing solar energy for refrigeration purposes. Solar refrigeration methods such as Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Methods have been discussed.
