This work investigates the characteristics of nonimaging hybrid compound parabolic collector (HCPC) for enhancement of heat transfer to the reactor of solar adsorption refrigeration system (SARS) in low latitude and cloudy region. A HCPC is simulated and developed to heat cylindrical reactor of SARS. The HCPC is used to heat the reactor with solar energy during high insolation while auxiliary heating system is used during low insolation. Simulation results show that the reactor adsorbent (activated carbon) is heated to average temperatures between 70 and 85 C when the solar radiance is between 350 and 450 W/m 2 . However, the experimental results are observed to be slightly deviated from the simulated results due to environmental factors, such as wind speed, cloud, and dust, which cannot be correctly predicted. It is inferred that HCPC is effective in heating SARS cylindrical reactor to start adsorption refrigeration process in low latitude and cloudy region.

“…The ability to vary the radiative surface properties of these radiators would allow optimized performance for varying conditions and potentially eliminate the need for power-consuming thermal management solutions [3]. Additional applications that would benefit from dynamic surface behavior include architectural exterior surfaces [4], IR detection concealment [5] and solar energy applications [6,7].…”

Thermal management systems for space equipment commonly use static solutions that do not adapt to environmental changes. Dynamic control of radiative surface properties is one way to respond to environmental changes and to increase the capabilities of spacecraft thermal management systems. This paper documents an investigation of the extent to which origamiinspired surfaces may be used to control the apparent absorptivity of a reflective material. Models relating the apparent absorptivity of a radiation shield to time-dependent surface temperatures are presented. Results show that the apparent absorptivity increases with increasing fold density and indicate that origami-inspired designs may be used to control the apparent radiative properties of surfaces in thermal management systems.
