A New Approach to Air Conditioning System Using the Photovoltaic System in Combination With Electricity – Driven Heat Pump and Vapor Compression Chiller

Abstract

Solar cooling systems have the benefit of the correlation between hours of cooling demand and the availability of solar radiation which can help to minimize electricity usage in buildings. Cooling and/or heating are the major requirements in houses, depending on local climatic conditions and construction style. As well as the impacts of global warming and climate change, air conditioning and refrigeration demands have risen. The development of cooling by using green energies, such as solar panels, is also a crucial solution for electricity and environmental problems. In this research, a solar air conditioning system using pv- vapor compression chiller is proposed. The objectives of this research is to design a system structure to reduce the energy consumption and electricity bill, investigate the performance of the proposed structure through simulation software, implement a hardware prototype based on the proposed design, and to evaluate the simulation and implementation data to validate the experimental results. Finally the data will be validating by the results from other works and simulation as well.
