Seminar 05 -- Solar Assisted Air Conditioning: How Solar Energy Can Cool Down your Building PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

With the transition towards decarbonization of the built environment, solar assisted cooling has emerged as an increasingly popular application over the past two decades, mostly driven by significant cost reductions and technology advancements. The objective of this seminar is to discuss the technical challenges and available solutions regarding a solar assisted cooling system's design, implementation and operation. In this seminar, the attendees gain an understanding of operation principles, design and implementation challenges and effective technical solutions. The seminar includes information on common systems using closedsorption cycles and open cycles, different types of solar collectors and performance indicators.
