Transient Simulation and Design Parameters Optimization of a Cold Store Utilizes Solar Assisted Adsorption Refrigeration System
Storing of products at their recommended storage temperature plays a vital role in products cost estimation especially in hot and humid climate. In this paper, a simulation of a solar assisted adsorption refrigeration system utilized in cold stores applications is carried out for hot-humid and hot-dry climatic conditions. Then an optimization based on the system design parameters have been performed to get the optimal system performance and maximum solar fraction. Finally, the optimized system performance characteristics have been evaluated monthly at different product storage temperatures for different climatic conditions. Reported results revealed that, an optimum solar collector area of 40m 2 , storage tank volume of 1.5m 3 and collector flow rate 1000kg/h are required to achieve an annual solar fraction of 0.79. Based on the annual system performance, SF and COP increase as cold store temperature increase for both climatic conditions. In fact, hot-dry climatic has higher SF and COP at 13˚C than hot-humid by 6% and 9%, respectively
