When compared with LiBr/H2O, an absorption refrigeration cycle using CaCl2/H2O as the working pair needs a lower driving heat source temperature, that is, CaCl2/H2O has a better refrigeration characteristic. However, the crystallization temperature of CaCl2/H2O solution is too high and its absorption ability is not high enough to achieve an evaporation temperature of 5 °C or lower. CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O was proposed and its crystallization temperature, saturated vapor pressure, density, viscosity, specific heat capacity, specific entropy, and specific enthalpy were measured to retain the refrigeration characteristic of CaCl2/H2O and solve its problems. Under the same conditions, the generation temperature for an absorption refrigeration cycle with CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O was 7.0 °C lower than that with LiBr/H2O. Moreover, the cycle’s COP and exergy efficiency with CaCl2-LiNO3-KNO3(15.5:5:1)/H2O were approximately 0.04 and 0.06 higher than those with LiBr/H2O, respectively. The corrosion rates of carbon steel and copper for the proposed working pair were 14.31 μm∙y−1 and 2.04 μm∙y−1 at 80 °C and pH 9.7, respectively, which were low enough for engineering applications.

“…Absorption refrigeration systems can effectively utilize not only industrial waste heat [1][2][3][4], but also low-grade renewable energy, including solar energy and geothermal energy for refrigeration [5][6][7]. As a traditional working pair, LiBr/H 2 O has been widely used for refrigeration [8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Because the power of PV modules is known to decrease with an increase in temperature, the cooling system of PV modules has been studied. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Certain manufacturers have reported the temperature coefficient (TC) values for the maximum power (P max ) of some commercially available PV modules. However, the reported values show large deviations.…”

The temperature dependences of monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), interdigitated back-contact (IBC), passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC), silicon heterojunction (SHJ), and multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules are estimated. Their characteristics such as temperature coefficients (TCs) for the maximum power (P max ), open-circuit voltage (V oc ), and efficiency are measured. IBC, PERC, SHJ, mono-Si, and multi-Si exhibit TCs at 25°C of P max and efficiency of %0.378, %0.404 to %0.373, %0.279, %0.432 to %0.415, and %0.516%/°C, respectively. IBC, PERC, SHJ, mono-Si, and multi-Si exhibit TCs at 25°C of V oc of %0.267, %0.269 to %0.263, %0.218, %0.312 to %0.306, and %0.334%/°C, respectively. Thus, IBC, PERC, and SHJ show weaker temperature dependences than mono-Si and multi-Si. The efficiencies of IBC, PERC, and SHJ at 25°C are 19.00, 18.81 to 19.25,and 21.40%, whereas those of mono-Si and multi-Si are 15.84 to 17.26 and 15.54%, respectively. Thus, IBC, PERC, and SHJ are more efficient than mono-Si and multi-Si in the temperature range higher than 25°C.

This work undertakes both simulation and experimental studies of a new design of a photovoltaic thermal solar air collector (PV/T). In order to improve the thermal and electrical performances for a specific application, the analytical expressions for thermal parameters and efficiency are derived by developing an energy balance equation for each component of the PV/T air collector. This type of hybrid collector can be applied in the facades of buildings. The electricity and heat produced will satisfy the energy needs of the buildings, while ensuring an aesthetic view of its facades. A typical prototype was designed, constructed, and implemented in the applied research unit on renewable energies in Ghardaia, situated in the south of Algeria. This region has semiarid characteristics. Results obtained by an experimental test are presented and compared to those predicted through simulation. Results include the temperature of each component of the PV/T collector and air temperature at the inlet and outlet of the channel. It has been found that the theoretical results predicted by the developed mathematical model, for instance, outlet temperature, agree with those found through experimental work.
