Description

This paper aims to study solar energy in Egypt and its potential utilization in solar thermal cooling (absorption technique). The paper includes a detailed proposed solar absorption cooling system for one building located at the British University in Egypt with maximum cooling load of 141.3 ton. Of refrigeration. The building cooling loads at different months were calculated using the hourly analysis program (HAP). A detailed design using a design software (TRNSYS) is introduced to model the system and for optimization. A cost analysis is finally included to compare the running costs of both the proposed cooling system and the current system. The paper shows that more than 80% energy savings can be achieved using the solar thermal cooling system compared to ordinary split air-conditioning units.
