Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 1, 502-508

Abstract: A small solid adsorption solar refrigerator has been built and preliminary testing is underway. The collector is 1.4 m2 in area and contains 17 kg of active carbon. It uses transparent insulation to reduce collector heat losses. The cold box is remote from the collector, being linked to it by a flexible steel hose. It is possible to produce up to 4 kg of ice per day in a diurnal cycle.
