研究目的
To improve the performance of the solar adsorption refrigeration system by designing a new solar collector that enables continuous operation with high thermal efficiency and near-zero CO2 emissions.
研究成果
The new design of a cylindrical solar collector enables a continuous adsorption refrigeration cycle, improving thermal efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Future work should focus on experimental validation, detailed modeling, and optimization for practical applications.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and has not been experimentally validated. Limitations include reliance on simulations, potential issues with material durability and efficiency in real-world conditions, and the need for optimization based on climate variability and specific adsorbent pairs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study is theoretical and based on computer-aided design using CATIA V5R19 software for modeling the new solar collector and refrigeration system components. The design rationale focuses on a cylindrical solar collector divided into parts for efficient heat absorption and isolation, incorporating a rotational inner cylinder to facilitate continuous desorption and adsorption phases without auxiliary energy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The design uses the silica gel/water adsorbent/adsorbate pair, selected for its thermal properties. Theoretical dimensions and conditions are derived from prior studies and climate variability in Morocco.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials include copper treated with black paint or black chromium for high solar absorption, glass for reflection and greenhouse effect, thermally isolating materials like glass wool and polymers, and components such as non-return needles, condensers, thermal expansion valves, and evaporators made from copper.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The system operates through a continuous thermodynamic cycle with four phases (isosteric heating, desorption, isosteric cooling, adsorption) facilitated by the rotation of the inner cylinder. Solar radiation heats the collector, causing desorption; condensation occurs in the air condenser; refrigerant expansion is controlled by a thermal expansion valve; and evaporation in the evaporator produces cooling.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis is based on theoretical modeling and simulation using CATIA V5R19, with plans for future modeling to assess system behavior under varying initial and boundary conditions.
