SOLAR EJECTOR REFRIGERANT SYSTEM IN CHINA'S RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Abstract

A simulation program describing the performance of solar ejector refrigerant system for air conditioning of China's residential buildings was established. Hourly performance of the system under different operate conditions, the collector efficiency, coefficient of performance, cooling capacity and cooling load were analyzed. It is found that the collector efficiency and the overall coefficient of performance increase first and then decline, and it can be concluded that the application of solar ejector refrigerant system will have a better developmental prospect in China's residential buildings.
