“…Offsetting cooling demand can be achieved by energy effi ciency options such as reducing surface to volume ratios of new building designs, passive solar building designs and cooling towers (Chan et al, 2010). Active RE technologies for cooling include ground source heat pumps, district cooling using cold water sources (Section 8.2.3) and solar-assisted coolers (R. Wang et al, 2009). The latter technology offers the matching of peak cooling demand with peak solar radiation and hence with peak electricity demand for conventional air conditioners (air-to-air heat pumps).…”

Solar powered cold water dispenser apparatus is fabricated and experimental results are shown in this work. The system contains solar panels, two low energy fans, water tank fabricated from clay (pottery), thermally sealed box, and pipes. Once these contents are connected together, testing was conducted on water temperatures at both ends. The preliminary results showed a drop in temperature of around 15˚C. This is achieved by utilizing free power from the sun.

“…These adsorption refrigeration systems which use industrial waste heat can also be used as cold sources to reduce fossil fuel consumption in many industrial buildings [5]. At present, the performance coefficient (COP) and specific cooling power (SCP) of the adsorption refrigeration systems are relatively low, which are 0.15-0.6 and 10-100, respectively, and the performance of adsorption refrigeration systems need to be improved [6][7][8].…”

Featured Application: The study is mainly used in areas where water is scarce, adsorbents adsorb water from the air, and are then desorbed.Abstract: A new experimental device which tests the adsorption performance of the 13X/CaCl 2 composite adsorbent under vacuum conditions was established. In this device, heat transfer characteristics in the adsorbent bed have a great influence on the adsorbent performance, the temperature of the bottom outside bed is very close to the temperature of the bottom inside bed and the temperature difference between them at the end of heating and cooling are 5.66 • C and 0.303 • C, respectively. The following conclusions could be drawn: the equilibrium water uptake of composite adsorbent CA10X (zeolite 13X impregnated with 10 wt % CaCl 2 solution) was increased 5.7% compared with that of 13X, and the water uptake was 0.37 g/g. The composite adsorbent CA10X has a better performance in the adsorption refrigeration system.
