Photovoltaic driven adsorption-cooling cycle

In this paper, an adsorption cooling system with drive heat sources from solar power through a photovoltaic system will be introduced. The PV system is used to heat the water collected in the storage tank for further use as the main driving force in the adsorption cooling system. The PV system has been tested and produced a voltage of 21 V with a current of 5.7 A. Whereas the research for the adsorption cooling system, it is only at the simulation test stage to determine the minimum heat source temperature that can be used in operation, which is 60 °C. By this research, it can be ascertained that the PV system is very possible to be applied to the adsorption cooling system so that the combination of the application of a technology system that is very environmentally friendly can be realized.
