Solar energy is the most promising among the available green energy sources and also the panacea to the increasing global warming potential and ozone depletion. In the last three decades, various technologies have been invented for extracting the latent potential of the solar energy. Among them, the one that is still unearthed and needs to be researched is the adsorption refrigeration cycle. In the present paper, we have designed a basic adsorption chiller driven by solar thermal energy which consists of a solar collector, an adsorbent bed, a condenser and an evaporator. The model provides a maximum COP of 0.452 with a refrigeration power of 6.78 kW. Moreover, we have provided the variation of COP system and COP cycle with time. Here, we have also inferred the response of COP with variation in mass and collector area and we came to the conclusion that the COP of the present system declines if the mass exceeds 15 Kg.
