Abstract
The air-conditioning and refrigeration systems in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia consume more than 60% of the electrical energy of the building
sector. Most of the used systems are of the vapor-compression type. Using solar
energy to power such systems will save a large amount of energy (primary or
electrical) that can be utilized by the production sectors such as industries.
Therefore in the present study, alternate designs for a 24-h operating
solar-powered absorption refrigeration technology have been developed in
detail.
