Solar cooling

Solar cooling

The use of solar thermal energy or solar electricity to power a cooling appliance. There are five basic types of solar cooling technologies absorption cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to vaporise the refrigerant; desiccant cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to regenerate(dry) the desiccant; vapour compression cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to operate a Rankine-cycle heat engine; and evaporative coolers ("swamp" coolers), and heat-pumps and air conditioners that can be powered by solar photovoltaic systems.
