RESEARCH STATUS OF SOLAR ENERGY IN ABSORPTION AND ADSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

Recent years,because of people’ s demand of fossil energy increased and the pollution of environment,which made the development and utilization of new energy resources become a research focus. The development of solar energy is also increasing,not only the use of solar power,but also the refrigeration. The article described several mature solar refrigeration technology,which were solar absorption and adsorption refrigeration technologies works and research. Their research progress and application were summarized. And some suggestions were posed,the important promotional value of solar refrigeration in air conditioning were prospected. The reduction of cost and improvement of performance established the basis for promotion and application of solar refrigeration. Finally,we can get that solar refrigeration would become smaller and the popularization and commercialization would be the future development trend.
