Abstract: A computer simulation study has been made for an open-cycle absorption solar-cooling system operated in a humid area. The system configuration is similar to the one proposed by Wood at Arizona State University. The system with a glazed solar collector/regenerator shows sufficient solar regeneration capacity for operation in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Many parameters controlling the system performance have been studied, including the amount of solution storage, absorber effectiveness, absorber solution flow rate, and the thermal capacitance of the structure. System simulation, using average local weather data, shows that the solar system can provide 75 to 97% of the cooling load needed for the summer season (from May to October) under various operating conditions.
