Innovative approach and performance analysis using LabVIEW in solar assisted vapour absorption cooling system

This paper reviews the past efforts of solar assisted-single effect vapour absorption cooling system for buildings. Besides the review of the past theoretical and experimental investigations of solar absorption cooling systems, some new ideas were introduced to reduce heat transfer loss to generator and thus to increase COP to get effective cooling. An experimental setup of vapour absorption cooling system was designed, developed and constructed. In order to monitor and analyze the performance of the cooling system it is necessary to collect the operation parameters of the system. In this regard the technique of visual instruments and the characteristics of cooling system is combined using national instrument product LabVIEW.
