Solar adsorption refrigeration being one of the most environment friendly and having low maintenance requirement is one of the most promising technology. The sorption refrigeration driven by solar energy attracted broad attention because the heat supply and cooling demand are very well matched with the season and heat quantity.
In the year 2014, Dokhane et al. worked on the performance evaluation of the intermittent solar solid adsorption refrigeration system . They were able to achieve a COP between 0.12 and 0.15 with methanol as the refrigerant. IIT, Bombay and IIT, Madras are also leading certain researches in this field especially in solar driven cycles.
At present, weak heat and mass transfer performance of adsorbent, low COP values, high investment costs have been diagnosed as the major impediments for solar adsorption refrigerators in becoming a competitive technology in the consumer and industrial market.
These research options widen area of application of adsorption refrigeration technology. Even so, further studies still need to be carried out for this adsorption refrigeration technology especially for solar heat driven cycles (thermally activated systems) to have an edge over the non-environment friendly systems.
Adsorber is designed as a group of tubes and each tube is embedded with activated carbon, and the center of the bed is incorporated with a channel for mass transfer. A combination of conventional solar water heater and represents the adsorption refrigeration system.
7. Techno economic problems Because of the intermittent nature of solar energy, intermittent solar adsorption refrigeration cycles are used but these possess certain limitations such as low COP value, low heating efficiency, and uneven adsorption or desorption.
