SOLAR REFRIGERATOR AVAILABLE IN ASIA AND AFRICA
The
solar refrigerator is the refrigeration system that runs on the solar
energy. The solar refrigerator comprises of all the traditional
components like the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and the
evaporator or the freezer. The power is supplied not by the domestic
electrical supply system, but from the solar panel.
The
solar system of the solar refrigerator comprises of the solar panel
that collects the solar energy. The solar panels are fitted with
photovoltaic cells that convert the solar energy into electrical energy
and store it in the battery. During the normal running of the solar
refrigerator the power is supplied directly by the solar panel, but when
the output power of solar panels is less, the additional power is
supplied by the battery. The battery is recharged when excess amount of
power is produced by the solar panels.
Another
application where the solar energy can be very useful is the vapor
absorption refrigeration system. In these systems heat from the steam is
used to heat water mixed with lithium bromide or ammonia that act as
the refrigerant. In these machines, the heat produced by the steam can
be replaced by the heat produced by solar energy.
