A typical solar thermal refrigeration system consists of four basic components - a solar collector array, a thermal storage tank, a thermal refrigeration unit and a heat exchange system to transfer energy between components and the refrigerated space. Selection of the solar array depends upon the temperature needed for refrigeration system.
This study reviews various research articles in the field of solar cooling systems and their integration with cold thermal energy storage (CTES) performance studies for F&V preservation reported. Solar cold storage systems are classified into solar thermal, solar evaporative, and solar electric refrigeration systems.
There are three methods by which solar energy can be utilized for refrigeration purposes. They are as follows- Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Method. In Solar Electric Method, the solar energy is directly converted to DC current by an array of solar cells known as Photovoltaic (PV) panel.
Hamid et al. presented a techno-economic study for a solar refrigerator system where PV refrigeration was used for cold storage and compared with a system without a solar system (Ikram et al., 2021).
Solar adsorption refrigeration system works on the adsorption cooling principle and is one of the oldest and greenest method for producing the refrigeration effect. It is receiving more attention to lessen the environmental and energy issues created due to the chemical method of refrigeration.
