Application of concentrating systems in solar refrigeration plants. Development of a combined absorption cooling installation with a cylindrical parabolic concentrator

This paper examines the use of solar cooling systems as an alternative option for solving major environmental and energy problems. The principles of operation, the main advantages and disadvantages of solar concentrators are described. Their optimality and relevance of their use to date are analyzed. Examples of work to improve the cooling capacity of solar cooling systems using paraboloid concentrators are given. Installation on the principle of combined absorption cooling is proposed. The operating principle of this unit is described and its distinctive features from other absorption solar cooling systems are shown. The theoretical calculation of the cycle of this installation was performed and its energy efficiency was determined. The 3D model of the current installation in the complex cloud tool is developed.
