“…The need of refrigeration -cold production either for chilling, cooling or air conditioning in sub-Saharan region is not only for air conditioning but also for food preservation, especially in the countryside, where more than 70% of the population actually lives [61]. Food preservation, drugs and vaccines conservation is not only a health issue but also an economic one because a big part of the harvest including dairy products is lost in countries like African and especially in rural areas due to lack of refrigeration systems.…”

“…In this context, in fact, rural areas' settlements are the most affected by this problem (Rebecchi et al 2016) since they are typically not served by the grid or with a very limited access only for a few hours per day (IMECHE 2014;Tassou et al 2010). To overcome this issue, several stand-alone solutions for food preservation have been developed providing different innovative alternatives from which it is possible to choose the most suitable for the application context, such as those that are based on sorption refrigeration, using either fossil fuels or solar thermal collectors as a heat source (Somerton et al 2009;Metcalf et al 2011;N'tsoukpoe et al 2014;Santori et al 2014;Yildiz 2016). More recently, DC (Direct Current) PV (Photovoltaics) refrigeration has become a very interesting and affordable solution, mainly thanks to the reduced manufacturing cost of photovoltaic modules (Nemet 2006;Feldman et al 2012).…”

Single stage absorption chillers using H 2 O-NH 3 have received increasing research interest in recent years, in order to make them competitive with conventional refrigeration machines. This work presents a study on the performance of such tri-thermal machines, used for negative temperature refrigeration. The objective is to determine the values of the system operating temperatures that minimize the irreversible losses in the various heat exchangers. To do this, the overall exergy efficiency of the system has been expressed as a function of the various operating temperatures. This objective function is to be maximized with experimental design method. The normal probability plot of the residual indicates that the random errors for the process are drawn from approximately normal distributions. From the results, with exergy efficiency greater than 0.4, two operating modes are presented which can be with condensation temperatures below 32 °C and above 38 °C.
