Originates with the thermonuclear fusion reactions occurring in the sun.

Represents the entire electromagnetic radiation (visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, xrays, and radio waves).

The surface receives about 47% of the total solar energy that reaches the Earth. Only this amount is usable.

The principle behind (solar) thermal driven cooling is the thermo-chemical process of sorption. A liquid or gaseous substance is either attached to a solid, porous material (adsorption) or is taken in by a liquid or solid material (absorption). The sorbent (like silica gel) is provided with heat (i.e. from a solar heater) and is dehumidified.

Solar heater will be used to produce steam/ hot water as a first step. This circuit is shown in Blue colour. This is a closed loop. Same water is circulated. There is no external electrical heat used. The steam passes through the absorption chiller, loses its heat to the Refrigerant (Lithium Bromide/Water solution) and returns to the tank for recirculation again. Refrigerant ( Shown in Orange takes the heat from the steam and using the adsorption cycle explained in the write up, produces chilled water from the second loop of water entering the Absorption chiller.( Shown in Green.)

The chilled water passes through the Heat exchanger, and cools the air to the required temperature, that in turn cools the target room. The chilled water stored in the tank is increased to continue cooling during the hours when the sun is not shining. It also acts as the buffer for the times when the cloud or other factors affect the amount of heat from the sun.

Construction of solar water heater using Aluminum tube. Construction of Absorption chiller system. Implementing the water heater system to AC system requires additional Mechanism. It is to overcome demand for Ac needs at low cost.

This project is an innovation in itself, In solar water heater copper is replaced by Aluminum tubes.

Since this challenge involves many issues like accuracy , reliable and usability of the Aluminum in solar heater that are not used in current technology. The system designed has been focused on usability of the renewable source of energy. We have devised an indigenous way to Using solar energy to run AC. No external electrical heat is required. Cost effective, efficient, user friendly, eco friendly, precise and accurate.

A market survey has been conducted and it was found that no such Concepts exists as our implementation. We are proud to mention that this idea is completely innovative and it is very effective. We have adopted a new technique that runs the AC.

Our product is Cost effective and the market response may exceed 85 %.
