Resumo

This paper presents the thermal performance of a single stage solar adsorption system. The study includes a thermal performance comparison between two different locations in North Africa (Cairo and Casablanca) under different climate conditions. It was found that the solar fraction of the adsorption system is better under Cairo climate due to the relatively low daily solar radiation of Casablanca compared to Cairo. The solar fraction of the cooling plant was investigated theoretically for six months. The effect of the solar collector area and the mass flow rate of the solar loop on the solar fraction were investigated. The solar fraction was computed for 40 and 20 kW auxiliary heater capacity. The required solar collector area for optimum solar fraction was reduced from 140 to 88 m2 with using 20 kW auxiliary heater and reduced to 46 m2 with the 40 kW auxiliary heater using. The results proved that with the mass flow rate of the solar loop increasing from 0.18 to 1.5 kg/s the collector area required decreases from 110 to 60 m2. This study was performed by the TRNSYS simulation using.
