Simulation and optimization of a solar driven air conditioning system for a house in south Alegria (Bechar)‎

الملخص EN

The main objective of this work is to develop a computational model that allows the simulation of an hourly basis for an absorption réfrigération system assisted by solar energy and natural gas as auxiliary fuel.

This model was developed using the dynamic simulation program TRNSYS.

The results of the optimization process of the absorption réfrigération system assisted by solar energy, indicate that an area of 12 m^ of fiat plate collectors with an inclination of 23° and 0.5 m^ storage tank were enough to cover the demand of air conditioning in a house of 20m^ located in Bechar (South Algeria).
