Application of single-double-effect absorption chiller to utilize solar energy in the tropical regions

抄録

The demand of electricity increases because of extensive use of air-conditioning system during the hot season in the tropical regions, which increase the peak of electricity consumption. Therefore, in this study, solar cooling system with single-double-effect absorption chiller that use solar energy as an energy input can be a way to solve energy problems and also environmental issues. The solar cooling system is applied to a building in Universitas Indonesia. The consumption of electricity, gas and solar energy are the main discussion.
