Abstract

Space refrigeration is a process that requires a lot of energy. The demands for refrigeration are highest during the day, especially during the summer season. India experiences high temperatures for the majority of the year, making solar refrigeration a very sought after technology. However, in rural areas, where there is a lack of electricity and resources, other sources of heat or electrical energy must be used. rnCombination of a CST and vapour absorption system could potentially solve both of these problems at once while being sustainable. This report discusses the pros and cons of both individual systems and their feasibility in the future.
