Numerical Simulation and optimization of an Innovative Solar Adsorption Ice-Maker

Abstract

The power consumed through air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, accounts for about the half of over-all consumption of electricity. Saudi Arabia, therefore, requires to develop and set means in cooling to cope with the general problems which possibly will take place in the forthcoming. The key objective of the current study is to build a simulated system which applies a refrigeration that depends on solar adsorption as ice-maker system in Holy Makkah, 21.4 °N, 39 °E.
