Parametric study of reflectivity transmittance of materials for potential solar adsorption refrigeration system

Abstract One of the most promising alternative energy sources has been recognized as solar energy. Solar may be utilized for electricity, thermal and power generation directly or indirectly. Sun adsorbing refrigeration systems require qualities, which can produced by concentrated collectors. Previous research found that collector components’ reflectivity transmittance is one characteristics have a substantial impact on performance adsorption system. For first time, insolation Reflectech mirror, new concentration material was compared parametrically with three popular materials (metallic film, aluminium film polymer film) used application. The optimized simulation results revealed employing in design refrigerating system ability to reflect maximum 144.5 W/m2 comparison metallic 119.75 W/m2, 100 68.67 W/m2. Thereby, implying potential producing highest coefficient than other under all periods study.
