This paper presents the analysis of the experimental tests performed with an absorption refrigeration advanced Solar-GAX system, designed for 10.5 kW (3 Ton) of cooling using ammonia-water mixture. The system designed for operation at heat source temperatures of around 200°C, consists of an absorber and generator of a falling film type and air cooled finned tube condenser and absorber, being an option for areas with water scarcity.

This paper presents the analysis of the experimental tests performed with an absorption refrigeration advanced Solar-GAX system, designed for 10.5 kW (3 Ton) of cooling using ammonia-water mixture. The system designed for operation at heat source temperatures of around 200°C, consists of an absorber and generator of a falling film type and air cooled finned tube condenser and absorber, being an option for areas with water scarcity. Heat source temperatures of 160°C were established to simulate the conditions of using solar thermal concentrating technology to supply heat the system, this means the system operating at partial load. Cooling capacities from 3 to 7 kW were obtained, with an average coefficient of performance (COP) of 0.37. Thermal stability was rapidly reached, after only 15 minutes of operation.
