Abstract: Background: Over the past few decades, energy is the cornerstone of technology and economic infrastructure. Hence the costs of energy have been increasing exponentially worldwide. Conventional refrigeration is one of the most energy consuming sectors. By developing a solar power refrigeration system, we are not only cutting down the energy costs, but also maintaining our surroundings safe. A huge quantity of energy is available to us from the sunlight and all we need is efficient utilization of this energy. The objective of this paper is to design and study of an environment friendly solar powered ammonia- water absorption refrigeration system. This system does away with reliance on an electric......
