Abstract:

Solar energy is one of the most well-known green sources of energy. Solar absorption refrigeration systems increasingly attract research interests. The performance of the refrigerator was simulated using Mat lab under varying operating conditions. The system consisted of the refrigeration chamber, thermoelectric modules, heat source and heat sink. When two conductors are placed in electric contact, electrons flow out of the one in which the electrons are less bound, into the one where the electrons are more bound. The performance of thermoelectric solar refrigerator was simulated using Mat lab under varying operating conditions. The system consisted of the thermoelectric solar refrigeration chamber, thermoelectric modules, heat source and heat sink. Results show that the coefficient of performance (C.O.P) which is a criterion of performance of such device is a function of the temperature between the source and sink.
