The document discusses solar air conditioning as a potential solution to reduce electricity demand for cooling, highlighting its eco-friendly and energy-efficient design. Solar systems convert thermal energy to conditioned air, but their efficiency can vary based on installation angle and weather conditions, with a long payback period due to high initial costs. The National Institute of Solar Energy is mentioned as a research facility for solar applications, with examples of different cooling systems and their operational specifics.

SOLARAIRCONDITIONING
Air-conditioning is one of the major
consumers of electrical energy .
The demand can be expected to
increase because of changing working
times, increased comfort expectations
and global warming.
Solar air-conditioning might be a way
to reduce the demand for electricity

SOLARAIRCONDITIONING
 Process of converting solar
thermal energy (heat) into
conditioned air.
 Eco-friendly as well as
Energy-efficient.
 Can be operated with
green resources of heat as
backup resources when
solar radiation is
unavailable

4. • When a liquid/gas changes its
state, it takes or extract heat.
• At lower pressure, state changes
at lower temp.
• Extraction of heat means cooling.
• Gas gets compressed when heated.
• Gaseous refrigerant compressed and
then heated up in the solar panel up
to 90°C.

6. Schematic layout of the system
 In this system , water is used
as the refrigerant while
lithium bromide (Li
Br)/ammonia is used as the
absorbent.
 In the absorber, the lithium
bromide absorbs the water
refrigerant, creating a
solution of water and lithium
bromide.
 Lithium bromide has great
affinity for water vapour,
however, when the water-
lithium bromide solution is
formed, they are not
completely soluble with each
other

9. • The angle and direction of installation
will effect the efficiency of the solar
collector.
• As a general rule if you are in the
Northern Hemisphere then the collector
should face South.
• The angle at which you mount the
collector should roughly correspond to
the latitude of your location. For
example:
- London, UK has a latitude of 51° North -
the collector should therefore face south at a
51° angle.
- Rome, Italy has a latitude of 41° North -
the collector should face south at a 41°C
angle

• Approx. 50% of total electricity is used in H.V.A.C in both the residential as well as commercial
buildings.
• By reducing in electrical load by 50% , it can cut 150 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030.

Monsoon season
 Heavy Initial Investment  Long payback period  Large area requirement.
• Solar PV Air Conditioner
1.5 ton (1.5kw) Price: Rs.
1.5- 3.5 lakh.
• Approx. 3-7 times of
conventional A.C unit.
• It take 15-20 years to
payback the complete
investment.
• For generating 1Kw, it
requires 12 sq.m of roof
area.
• For setting up a solar
power plant of 1MW, it
require 5 acres of land.
• Efficiency lacks if cloudy
weather prolongs as
intensity of sunlight don’t
match the requirement of
