AB - Further improvement of solar refrigeration systems depends strongly on development of more efficient
energy storage systems. A hybrid absorption / thermochemical refrigeration system is proposed in this
work, where both subsystems share the same condenser, evaporator and refrigerant fluid, making the
overall system more economic and better performing than operating both parts separately.
Performance of the system is evaluated by means of a simulation in a sample scenario, consisting of a
demand of refrigeration for a single-family residence. The influence of varying the number of solar
thermal collectors and the mass of refrigerant fluid available for storage at the thermochemical
subsystem is studied.
