Abstract
In recent years, solar energy applications have been extended to HVAC systems in general and cooling systems in particular. Compared to conventional cooling systems, solar powered cooling technologies have the advantage of reducing the use of electricity from the grid thus saving energy and reducing the system operating cost. In addition, unlike conventional cooling technologies which present some concerns by the use of CFC (ChloroFluoroCarbon) and HCFC (HydroChloroFluoroCarbon) as refrigerants, solar powered cooling technologies do not lead to environmental concerns due to their fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we have performed a simulation of solar absorption cooling system using INSEL software. The aim is to examine the performance of this type of cooling system and see if it can be suitable for a residential building located in Cape Town in the Republic of South Africa.
