Based on the model-free adaptive control (MFAC) theory, temperature tracking problem of single-effect LiBr/H2O absorption chiller is explored. Due to complex nonlinearity and strong coupling characteristics refrigeration system, strategy designed for its control. Nevertheless, traditional has a slow speed poor denoising ability. In order improve effect, output error rate added objective functio...

This paper provides a brief summary of current solar cooling technologies based on a literature review of 16 journal articles. The REDD facility at DRI currently uses two methods of cooling: an absorption chiller driven by solar thermal, and an evaporative cooler which can be run off of solar photovoltaic. This literature search is to identify what are the best technologies to convert solar ene...

This paper examines through a thermodynamic analysis the feasibility of using waste heat from marine Diesel engines to drive an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system. An energy balance of a diesel engine shows that sufficient waste heat is provided. The results illustrate that higher performance of the system is obtained at high generator and evaporator temperatures and also at low cond...
