“…They allow minimizing the environmental effects and satisfying the energy demand [4,8,9]. We find single-stage or double-stage absorption systems with and without crystallization [4]. The single-stage systems are equipped with two heat exchangers and two or three storage tanks.…”

“…However, the double-stage systems are different from the preview systems by adding the two pairs of absorber/generator and evaporator/condenser. In addition, the crystallization process occurs that the refrigerant undergoes three-phase transformation (solid: usually crystallized salt, liquid, and vapor) [4]. Furthermore, these plants and their performance are closely linked to the climatic conditions (especially solar irradiance) of the regions where they are installed.…”

The chapter presents the recent studies focusing on optimizing the efficiency of air-conditioning (AC) systems using solar energy. For this purpose, several advanced AC plants (absorption, adsorption, and desiccant) are designed. Their technology and components are described in this chapter. It also discusses the energy intake of the solar energy use in airconditioning, especially in rural regions where the electricity shortage is frequent, as well as the reduction of the energy costs and the pollution rate. A comparison between solar AC systems and traditional AC systems at the level of the designs, costs, and effectiveness is made at the end of the chapter.

“…Many different solar-assisted HVAC systems such as solar-driven ejector air conditioners [14], direct current air conditioning systems integrated with photovoltaic (PV) systems [15], solardriven absorption air conditioning systems [16] and solar-assisted desiccant cooling systems [17,18] have been developed over the last two decades. As shown in Figure 10, in this section, the review mainly focuses on the solar-assisted HVAC systems with integrated PCMs for thermal energy regulation and space conditioning.…”

Solar-assisted heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) systems are receiving increasing attention. This chapter presents the development of HVAC systems with integrated solar photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors and phase change materials (PCMs) to reduce building energy consumption while providing satisfactory indoor thermal comfort. PVT collectors, which can generate both thermal energy and electricity simultaneously, are a promising technology for developing high-performance buildings. As solar energy is intermittent, the integration of phase change materials (PCMs) with PVTdriven HVAC systems can provide an opportunity to effectively utilise solar energy and maximise the performance of HVAC systems. The results showed that the coefficient of performance (COP) of an air source heat pump system with integrated PVT collectors and PCMs was 5.2, which was higher than the use of the air source heat pump only (i.e., 3.06) during the test period investigated.

“…HTFs in commercial CSP plants use air, Water or steam, oils and inorganic molten salt [12][13] . Water is the most commonly used thermal storage medium in solar cooling applications, the small operating temperature range of solar systems limits its energy density 14 . Solar collectors need to have good optical performance for absorbing all the possible heat, whilst the thermal storage subsystems require high thermal storage density as small volume and low construction cost and excellent heat transfer rate for absorb and release heat at the required speed [15][16][17][18] .…”

In this research we analyze the state of the art of the technological developments that are being presented by the scientific community to mitigate the strong environmental changes with renewable energies. The results obtained by the bibliometric techniques in the period 2007-2018 show that in the 1900 published articles the People's Republic of China presents the highest volume of 32.3% of the total publications, showing a strong influence on the development of energy storage technologies and the availability of materials. The results presented in this article allow us to evaluate the development of researchers in this alternative of energy storage as a replacement to the distribution that is done with traditional methods.
