A solar thermal cooling and heating system for a building: Experimental and model based performance analysis and design

A review of solar thermo-mechanical refrigeration and cooling methods

“…Interest in solar cooling systems first began in 1970s when the energy crisis occurred [3][4][5]. Within a few years, many development projects were started.…”

The applicability of the wall implanted with heat pipes in winter of China

“…Zhai et al [10,11] studied a solar energy system capable of heating, cooling, natural ventilation and hot water supply system in Shanghai Research Institute of Building Science. Qu et al [12] studied a solar thermal cooling and heating system to deal with how solar energy might most effectively be used in supplying energy for a building. Zhu et al [13] researched a new building envelope to directly utilize low-grade energy sources to reduce building cooling/heating load and improve the indoor thermal comfort.…”

Performance Assessment of Solar Assisted Absorption Heat Pump System with Parabolic Trough Collectors

“…Performance of the system has been tested, it was found that this solar thermal system could potentially supply 39% of cooling and 20% of heating energy for the building space [8]. Assilzadeh et al [9] presented a solar cooling system using evacuated tube solar collectors, a model and simulation of the absorption solar cooling system was carried out with TRNSYS, and a typical meteorological year file is used to simulate the system.…”
