“…However, these devices are highly electricity-consuming ones and use environmentally harmful refrigerants (HFCs, HCFCs). The adsorption refrigeration systems (ARSs) are considered environmentally friendly energy-saving systems where they can use low-quality thermal energy provided by solar or waste heat sources [2,3]. Furthermore, they can utilize natural refrigerants such as water and ethanol and require low maintenance efforts due to fewer moving parts [4].…”

The adsorption refrigeration system driven by solar energy is a promising sustainable solution to tackle the growing demand for cooling and meet environmental regulations as well. In addition, the increase in refrigeration needs is in phase with the increase in the abundant solar energy in the Middle East. This study aims at numerically investigating the utilize of a high adsorption performance material namely Maxsorb III, a type of activated carbon, packed in an advanced aluminium foam bed to produce ice from two-bed adsorption system. A detailed 2-D axisymmetric transient model considering mass, momentum, and energy balance equations coupled with isotherms and kinetic models in the adsorbent domain to describe the adsorption phenomena was developed and used for the simulations. Results of a typical packed bed using finned tube configuration were used as a base model to compare the performance enhancement. The aluminium foam-based system performance outperformed the base model in producing the ice by 16.8% at a high cycle time of 1200 s, regeneration temperature of 90°C, and foam thickness of 5 mm. Furthermore, the coefficient of performance and specific cooling power increased by 26.7% and 27.9%, respectively, driven by the considerable enhancement in the bed mass and heat transfer due to the use of metal foam.

Energy demand has outpaced energy supply. The use of renewable energy is one solution to this energy demand - supply imbalance. For better utilization of energy at the rural areas, a study was conducted to compare the performance of solar systems with and without inverter. The design and development for a low-cost ac and dc data recorder for PV systems is presented in this study. The data logger prototype consists of a micro converter, SD card, and current and voltage sensors. It measures the daily power usage of both ac and dc appliances. The data logger is interfaced with a personal computer, a mobile device, and an LED display, and it provides the daily energy consumption, the average energy consumption, the charging and discharging conditions, and system failure information. The designed hardware was tested under variety of load and no-load conditions, and the graph for various parameters both ac and dc appliances were then analyzed. This technology captures data in milliseconds with human-impossible precision. Microsoft Excel can aggregate all data and generate a graph for each microsecond, which enhances accuracy, eliminates human error, and saves time. This will improve the economy and make them more energy independent.
