  3. What’s Solar Cooling? Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 • The core idea is to use the solar energy directly to produce chilled water. • The high temperature required by absorption chillers is provided by solar troughs. • The system doesn’t require “strategic” materials (like in PV systems) and has peak production in the moment of peak demand.

  6. Underlying Physics Thermodynamics Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 1st Law: The change of internal energy (U) of a system is equal to the heat absorbed (Q), plus the external work (W) done on the system W, Q related to the changes the system experiences when going from an initial to a final state

  8. Entropy Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 The concept of entropy was originally introduced in 1865 by Rudolf Clausius. He defined the change in entropy of a thermodynamic system, during a reversible process in which an amount of heat ΔQ is applied at constant absolute temperature T, as ΔS = ΔQ / T Clausius gave the quantity S the name "entropy", from the Greek word τρoπή, "transformation". Since this definition involves only differences in entropy, the entropy itself is only defined up to an arbitrary additive constant

  9. Thermodynamics - 2nd Law Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 The most probable processes that can occur in an isolated system are those in which entropy increases or remains constant In other words: In an isolated system there is a well-defined trend of occurrence of process and this is determined by the direction in which entropy increases. In other words: Heat flows naturally from a system of higher temperature to a system of lower temperature.

  33. Adsorption cooling Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 Adsorption is the use of solids for removing substances from gases and liquids The phenomenon is based on the preferential partitioning of substances from the gaseous or liquid phase onto the surface of a solid substrate. The process is reversible

  34. Adsorption Phase 1 Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 Heating and pressurization The adsorbent temperature increases, which induces a pressure increase, from the evaporation pressure up to the condensation pressure. This period is equivalent to the "compression" phase in compression cycles.

  35. Adsorption Phase 2 Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 Heating and desorption + condendsation During this period, the adsorber continues receiving heat while being connected to the condenser, which now superimposes its pressure. The adsorbent temperature continues increasing, which induces desorption of vapour. This desorbed vapour is liquified in the condenser. The condensation heat is released to the second heat sink at intermediate temperature. This period is equivalent to the "condensation" in compression cycles.

  36. Adsorption Phase 3 Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 Cooling and depressurization During this period, the adsorber releases heat while being closed. The adsorbent temperature decreases, which induces the pressure decrease from the condensation pressure down to the evaporation pressure. This period is equivalent to the "expansion" in compression cycles.

  37. Adsorption Phase 4 Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 Cooling and adsorption + evaporation During this period, the adsorber continues releasing heat while being connected to the evaporator, which now superimposes its pressure. The adsorbent temperature continues decreasing, which induces adsorption of vapor. This adsorbed vapour is evaporated in the evaporator. The evaporation heat is supplied by the heat source at low temperature. This period is equivalent to the "evaporation" in compression cycles.

  38. Adsorption Cooling - Summary Sustainable Architecture Applied to Replicable Public Access Buildings www.sara-project.net Contract:TREN/04/FP6EN/S07.31838/503118 The cycle is intermittent because production of cooling energy is not continuous: it occurs only during part of the cycleWhen there are two adsorbers in the unit, they can be operated separately and production of cooling energy can be quasi-continuous. When all the energy required for heating the adsorber(s) is supplied by the heat source, the cycle is termed single effect. Typically, for domestic refrigeration conditions, the COP of single effect adsorption cycles is of about 0.3-0.4. When there are two adsorbers or more, other types of cycles can be designed. In double effect cycles or in cycles with heat regeneration, some heat is internally recovered between the adsorbers, and that improves the COP.
