An Examination of a Solar-Powered Refrigeration System

L. Maladuraikannan

Abstract


Dr. PDKV Akola's Department of Unconventional Energy Sources and Electrical Engineering carried out the performance evaluation of the photovoltaic-based vapour compression refrigeration system. A battery bank, a solar charge controller, and a solar panel field provided power to the DC refrigerator. It was seen that the energy utilization of a photovoltaic worked fume pressure fridge was regularly 429 - 660 W each day for suggested capacity state of immunizations (2-8°C). The presentation of thermoelectric cooler had found effect of surrounding temperature based on its exhibition in conditions of cooling impact and power utilization which was more than the fume pressure fridge. At no load and full load, the photovoltaic system's output power was measured. The exploratory information was utilized for the computation of the energy and exergy efficiencies of the PV frameworks. The typical photovoltaic proficiency was viewed as 8.4 and 8.2% for no heap and full burden conditions while energy effectiveness was 11.4 and 11.2%, individually numerous relapse examinations completed to anticipate the power yield, photovoltaic productivity and exergy proficiency and showed critical outcomes.
