Abstract: Experiments are carried out on a R11 vapour jet refrigeration system (VJRS) to study the influence of ejector configuration and operating conditions on the performance. Eight ejector configurations, formed out of five nozzles and seven diffusers are investigated. The influence of boiler temperature, which represents the solar energy collection temperature, and that of evaporating temperature, which denotes the cooling load temperature, are studied. Overall COPs in the range of 0.08-0.33 and evaporating temperatures in the range of −3–18°C are obtained for boiler temperatures from 75 to 85°C. Ejector configuration has significant influence in deciding the operating range.
