Solar Thermal Coolers
Cooling processed products has been an expensive factor during production and this is a worry of the past following the introduction of solar thermal chilling units. The solar thermal chilling unit works on a hybrid principle. It absorbs solar energy to heat the inside medium by utilizing a vacuum solar collector. The refrigerant from the compressor goes through a copper coil inside the collector and undertakes a heat exchange.
The heated refrigerant then goes through a cycle inside the system not only for heating but also for cooling. Energy from the sun is fully utilized and therefore less power is required from the mains in this process. This in turn, allows for smaller compressors to be installed that offer even better savings on power consumption.

Solar thermal cooling is a technology that uses solar energy to power an absorption chiller, which cools water that is then circulated through the building's air conditioning system. The absorption chiller is driven by a thermal energy source, such as solar thermal collectors, which absorb the sun's energy and use it to create a temperature differential to produce cooling.
Solar thermal cooling systems consist of several components, including solar thermal collectors, an absorption chiller, a storage tank, and a control system. The solar thermal collectors absorb the sun's energy and transfer it to a working fluid, which is then used to generate the cooling effect in the absorption chiller. The absorption chiller then cools the water that is circulated through the building's air conditioning system.
