Dynamic model of a solar powered absorption refrigeration system

Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of a dynamic simulation model used to describe the operation of a solar cooling system located in Jaén (Spain). The dynamic model has been developed using the simulation environment TRNSYS. The main goal of this paper has been to analyze separately the dynamic behaviour of each components of the installation and have been shown the differences between the temperatures of input and output of each of them, discussing and justifying the phenomena that appear. During the analysis phase and using and detailed model of the solar cooling system, it has been dedicated a special interest in showing the differences in all components between the initial transitional period and the period of stabilization of their operation.
