IEA SHC Task 38 Solar Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Subtask A Report, Date:… 1 Background In solar thermal installations, both solar cooling and solar heating can be provided synergistically, yielding a complete annual utilization. During the cold season, solar heat serves for space heating. During the warm season, solar heat can be converted into useful cold by means of sorption cooling. A favorable situation is given when low temperature heating and cooling facilities, e.g. floor or wall heating systems or activated ceilings, are applied for heating and cooling. During heating operation, a low temperature latent heat storage can be used to balance the heat generation by the solar thermal system and the heat supply to the heating system. Thus, a low operating temperature of the solar thermal system is accomplished yielding efficient operation with optimum solar gain. In cooling mode, the same storage is used in combination with a dry cooling tower to absorb/reject the waste heat in order to replace a wet cooling tower. By that means heat rejection of the chiller is shifted partly to periods with lower ambient temperatures, i.e. night time, or to off-peak hours. 2 System Design In conventional absorption cooling installations, wet cooling towers designed for a coolant supply/return temperature 27/35 °C are applied. To use a dry air-cooler, cooling water temperatures have to be increased to 40/45 °C. As a consequence of the increase of the cooling water temperature, the temperature level of the driving heat supplied to the regenerator of the absorption chiller has to be increased accordingly.
