Abstract: This paper describes the performance of an ejector cooling system driven by solar energy and R134a as working fluid. The system operating in conjunction with intermediate temperature solar collector in Athens, is predicted along the 5 months (May–September). The operation of the system and the related thermodynamics are simulated by suitable computer codes and the required local climatologically data are determined by statistical processing over a considerable number of years. It was fount that the COP of ejector cooling system varied from 0.035 to 0.199 when the operation conditions were: generator temperature (82–92°C), condenser temperature (32–40°C) and evaporator temperature (−10–0°C). For solar cooling application the COP of overall system varied from 0.014 to 0.101 with the same operation conditions and total solar radiation (536–838W/m2) in July.
