Advantages Of Solar Power Refrigeration System

Johnson space center s solar powered refrigeration system employs a pv panel vapor compressor thermal storage and reservoir and electronic controls.

Advantages of solar power refrigeration system. Solar photovoltaic panels produce dc power that can be used to operate a dc motor that is coupled to the compressor of a vapour compression refrigeration system. A 12 volt refrigerator is extremely safe in comparison. The major considerations in designing a pv refrigeration cycle involve appropriately matching the electrical characteristics of the motor driving the compressor with the available. Solar powered refrigerators are able to keep perishable goods such as meat and dairy cool in hot climates and are used to keep much needed vaccines at their appropriate temperature to avoid spoilage.

The process that makes the refrigeration possible is the conversion of sunlight into dc electrical power achieved by the pv panel. One of the key advantages to this is the ability to connect a solar fridge to an existing pv system or connect it to a system that you are installing with it without the danger that would come with working with voltages higher than 24v. Dc electric power output from pv runs the compressor of a conventional cycle considerations.
