Solar-driven Ejector Refrigeration Technologies: A Study
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide a helpful literature study on solar-driven ejector refrigeration systems and to provide useful progress toward back ground and operating principles of ejector. The development history and up to date improvement in solar-driven ejector refrigeration systems are summarized. It shows that solar-driven ejector refrigeration technologies are not only fulfill the needs for different purposes like cooling requirements such as air-conditioning and ice-making and also medical or food preservation in inaccessible areas, It also can serve energy conservation and environment protection. For many reasons, the research actions in this sector are still increasing to solve few vital points However; a large amount of research work still needs to be done for large-scale applications. In industry and as well as the replacement of energy consuming conventional refrigeration equipment.
