“…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.

“…Different solar-powered air-conditioning systems have different types of cooling medium, here are mainly four types: absorption refrigeration system, adsorption refrigeration system, ejector refrigeration system, and desiccant cooling system. 44,51 Solar-powered absorption air-conditioning system Absorption air-conditioning system is one of ordinary refrigeration technologies. It has similar principle with vapor compression system, that is, using liquid refrigerant evaporate and vaporize, absorb heat load from cooling medium, and produce cooling effect.…”

Phase change material cold storage system could improve the efficiency and stability of the solar-powered airconditioning system and the building thermal environment. This article is a novel investigation of the phase change materials' usage in cold storage system and the phase change material cold storage working principles and features that are applied in the different solar-powered airconditioning systems as cited in the recent publications. This involves phase change material cold storage system, solar-powered airconditioning system, and the commercial market evaluation. To reduce the intermittent solar energy operation, the energy storage system is quite essential. Currently, the popular method is advanced phase change material cold storage. Using phase change materials in the energy storage systems, the heat exchangers and thermal control systems are the potential techniques. This article also reviewed the phase change material cold storage when applied in the solar-powered airconditioning system based on the previous study. This article could benefit further research in the solar-powered airconditioning field as integrated to the phase change material cold storage system and help to understand the commercial market development trend. For further studies, it was suggested that the optimal design of solar-powered cooling system could be employed by phase change material storage/release cooling dynamical control to improve the building thermal environment.

“…The system also includes an electric circuit for determining whether a temperature of the inverter in cold storage is greater than a first predetermined temperature, and an electric circuit for controlling a rotational speed of the compressor. Specifically, when the temperature of the inverter in cold storage is greater than the first pre determined temperature, the electric circuit decreases the rotational speed of the compressor [11][12].…”

Stand-alone PV systems have shown to be reliable and cost effective for cooling & refrigeration and have attracted the users. For a specific application with an estimated requirement of cooling in cold storage, low power air conditioning system using PV modules has been designed, fabricated and developed. The paper also deals with our experiences encountered including the successful operation of the refrigeration system during off the sunshine hours continuously for 7 or 8 hours. The calculations of the specific cooling costs show the promising economic effectiveness and reliability of the designed PV refrigeration system. Keeping in view of the technical performance and economic parameter, it demonstrates that this small-scale technology can contribute to solving problems of cooling like small area refrigeration including the transportable and small cold storage container with integrated PV energy supply systems. These systems can be erected on or around a cold storage to obtain the cooling needs while grid electricity cuts frequently or especially in remote desert areas.
