SOLAR POWERED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Solar energy is proved to be ideal source for low temperature heating application .Three known approaches that use solar energy to provide refrigeration at temperature below 0 degrees include PV operated refrigeration solar mechanical and compression refrigeration both PV operated and solar mechanical cycle relay on vapor compression refrigeration cycle where as compression refrigeration uses thermal energy as the primary input to the cycle .among this three approaches PV system is the most viable and appropriate means for small capacity portable system located in area not near conventional energy resources.
