Large scale solar cooling design using salt gradient solar ponds

Renewable Energy, 1991, vol. 1, issue 2, 309-314

Abstract: The future of large scale cooling is closely linked to the long term economically viable component development for collection and storage of solar energy at relatively high temperatures. As such, solar ponds at the present state of their development are undoubtedly considered as the only promising large scale solar collection and heat storage device for such applications. The present analysis, based on numerical calculations, allows a parametric investigation of solar pond design and operational characteristics to the capacity of a conventionally designed, commercially available, absorption chiller. The results can prove very useful for the rough design and pond size selection for operation of chillers of a substantial capacity, directly from solar ponds.
