IEA SHC Task 38 Solar Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Subtask A Report A-D3b, Date: December 2010 System reliability and overall success of the installation After installation in 2007 followed by an optimization phase of the control strategy, the solar cooling and heating system has been operated in automatic mode since January 2008. - Solar thermal system and hot water buffer The solar thermal system has been working properly. An overheating of the solar thermal panel system is avoided by using the dry air cooler as heat sink for surplus solar heat. The system performance can be improved by adding an irradiation related speed control of the primary loop pump and an enlarged heat exchanger. - Absorption chiller The thermally driven chiller worked quite well. Only once the automatic anti-crystallization routine has been activated due to inert gases caused by corrosion. Even after standstill during winter the chiller has been available for automatic operation without manual intervention. Yet, the chiller operated at reduced thermal COP due to the effect of inert gases accumulated during standstill. After a manual evacuation the chiller reached nominal values again. - Reject heat loop with dry air cooler and latent heat storage modules The dry air cooler has been cleaned once a year in spring to remove pollen of the heat exchanger surface. No further maintenance has taken place. By implementing a 3-way valve in the hydraulic loop of the latent heat storage a speed control of the fan is no longer required in further installations. The latent heat storage modules have proved their functionality and reliability. Up to now no degradation in performance or storage capacity has been detected. In summertime cooling water temperature has been reduced significantly and in wintertime the efficiency of the solar system has been increased due to low and constant temperatures of the latent heat storage. In consequence of the good performance and reliability of the system the monitoring will be continued and further improvements are going to be implemented.
