Description

With the increasing demand for refrigeration and air conditioning worldwide, the interest in alternative processes of cold production which can be supplied from renewable energy sources is also growing. One promising possibility is thermal processes. In these processes, thermal energy is used to generate cold. it allows the vapour jet compressor to be operated with solar-generated heat from the flat collector. After sufficient solar thermal heating, the heat transfer fluid from is pumped into the vapour generator by the pump . The pump is operated via are connected by hoses. The energy added from solar heat is determined by two temperature sensors and one flow rate sensor. The measured values are transferred and can be processed on a PC. They are also displayed directly.
