Performance of an integrated solar absorption cooling system in a sub-tropical region (2012)
Journal Article
Darkwa, J., & Fraser, S. (2012). Performance of an integrated solar absorption cooling system in a sub-tropical region. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/cts024

Evaluation of an integrated solar absorption cooling system located in a sub-tropical region has been carried out. Analysis of the results revealed an operational efficiency of 61% for the solar collectors at a mean differential temperature forumla o...
