This book focuses on the analysis of the parameters involved in the production of chilled water using solar thermal energy via a single effect Absorption chiller into a storage buffer tank. The study investigates the performances of the solar thermal collector system and the absorption chiller for the four seasons in the year. The capital cost, maintenance cost, operating cost and payback period of adopting a solar absorption cooling plant are also presented. This book also includes the investigation of the various parameters such as passive cooling, heat transfer, air distribution and...
