 1.1 THE CONCEPT
1. Absorption Refrigeration Process:

 Absorbent:
Lithium bromide is chosen as the absorbent material due to its excellent affinity
for water vapor. In the absorption process, water vapor from the refrigeration cycle
is absorbed by a solution of lithium bromide, creating a concentrated lithium
bromide solution.

 Refrigerant Water :

serves as the refrigerant in this system. As water vapor is absorbed by lithium

bromide, it forms a diluted lithium
bromide solution, and the water vapor is
removed from the refrigeration cycle.

 Absorption Cycle:

The absorption cycle involves the

absorption of water vapor into the
lithium bromide solution, followed by
a process to release the absorbed
water vapor in a separate area known
as the desorption or regeneration
section.

2. Desorption or Regeneration:
 Heat Source:

Solar energy is harnessed to provide the heat required for the desorption or
regeneration process. Solar collectors, such as solar thermal panels or parabolic
troughs, absorb sunlight and transfer the heat to the regeneration section of the
absorption unit.
  Release of Water Vapor:
The concentrated lithium bromide solution, now heated by solar energy,
releases the absorbed water vapor. This process is also known as desorption.
The released water vapor is then condensed back into liquid form.

3. Electricity Generation:

 Solar Photovoltaic Panels:

A portion of the collected solar energy is directed towards solar

photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels convert sunlight into electricity,
creating a renewable power source for the system.

 Photovoltaic Panels (PV):

Solar panels are employed to convert

sunlight into electricity. This clean
and renewable energy source can
power auxiliary components of the
system, such as circulation pumps,
fans, and controls.

 Photovoltaic panels, commonly known as solar panels, convert

sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductors. These panels
consist of multiple interconnected solar cells that generate an
electrical current when exposed to sunlight. The electricity produced
is then used to operate various components of the refrigeration and air
conditioning unit, such as fans, pumps, and controls.
  Powering the System:

The generated electricity powers the various components of the refrigeration and
air conditioning unit, including pumps, fans, and control systems. This integration
reduces dependence on external power sources and enhances the overall
sustainability of the system.

 Solar Photovoltaic Generation:

Photovoltaic panels generate electricity directly from sunlight. This electricity can
be used to power the entire refrigeration and air conditioning unit, reducing
dependence on external power sources and minimizing the environmental impact.

4. Cooling and Air Conditioning:

 Circulation:

The refrigerant, now in liquid form, circulates through the evaporator, absorbing
heat from the surrounding space. This process causes the refrigerant to evaporate,
creating a cooling effect.

 Air Handling Unit:

The cooled air is then circulated through an air handling unit, providing
comfortable temperatures within the conditioned space.

 Air Conditioning:

The system can be designed to provide air conditioning by using the cooled
refrigerant to absorb heat from the indoor air. The absorbed heat is then expelled
during the desorption process, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
  Refrigeration:

The same principles can be applied to create refrigeration for cooling applications,
such as food storage or industrial processes.

5. Recirculation and Continuation:

 Continuous Cycle:

The process of absorption, desorption, electricity generation, and cooling

continues in a cyclic manner. The lithium bromide solution is recirculated between
the absorption and regeneration sections, while the refrigerant circulates between
the evaporator and condenser.

6. Key Advantages:
 Environmentally Friendly:

The use of lithium bromide and solar energy aligns with sustainability goals,
reducing the reliance on traditional refrigerants and non-renewable energy sources.

 Energy Independence:

By incorporating solar energy, the system becomes less dependent on external

power grids, making it suitable for both urban and off-grid applications.

 Lower Carbon Footprint:

The integration of renewable energy and eco-friendly refrigerants contributes to a

reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.

 CHAPTER II

Project DESGIN
The heater:-
Used Extroded Boss on a
rectangular sketch to give the
2-D shape a height and turn it
into 3-D. Then, we Extruded
cut the inside of the body to
give us a box-like object, with
Extroded boss a small slot at
left side, which will connect to
the Base of the generator

The Lid:- will be used to cover the

heater. Made by sketching a 2-D
rectangle, then
applying extroded boss.
The Wing:- the mirror
used to reflect the light
rays to focus it more
intensively is place on a
body made by sketching
a 2-D shape on the
Right plane, then
applying Extroded boss,
to give a 3-D object by
adding length to the
sketch. To further add to the body, we sketched on the Front face of the Wing a
small rectangle that extends upwards from the bottom 20 cm, and Extroded bossed
away from the main body, and Extroded Cut two small circles in it, in where the
connection pins of the Base will fit

The Aluminum Sheet:- this thin

plate of aluminum is made the
same way as the Lid, only
difference being is the thickness
of the Extruded boss and the
material assigned.

The Base:- A 2-D rectangle is sketched in the Top view, it is the Extroded Bossed
to give it a height and turn it into a 3-D body
similar to the Heater. It will not be hollow from
inside, so the Extroded Cut is only used on one
Front & one Side, where the the connection pins
will the be Extroded Bossed in. These pins will
then be fitted in the holes we made earlier in the
Heater & wing respectively.
 The Generator:- All the parts are the added
together in the assembly page, to be ready to
be suitably mated with each other.

Firstly, we mate the PCM with the Base,

by coinciding both the bottom face of
the PCM, with the top face of the Base
together. We also make sure both parts
are fitted well together within the sides.

The same type of mates are used to fix the

aluminum sheet on the PCM, and the PV cell
on top of the aluminum sheet. However, to
fix the cell in the middle we use Width mate
to specify that it is in the exact
middle of 2 sides.

The Wing and the Base are fixed together by first mating
the rods with the holes to be concentric to each other then
mating the opposing faces together to be coincident.
The Condenser:- both these parts were found from the internet as they are separate
smaller projects by themselves

All 5 sides of the Condenser's box were

made the same way; we first sketch a 2-D
rectangle on any of the three planes,
depending on the side, then we apply
Extroded Boss to add thickness and
make the shape 3-D.
 The condenser is fixed to the
Bottom plate by first fitting the slots found on the bottom right & left of the
condenser into the rods we added to the bottom plate.

The fan is then mated to the back wall through the rod we added, and then we
attach the back to the bottom plate of the condenser.
We continue to attach the
remaining sides to the fixed base
and back of the box
we added earlier.
Fadel el evaporator

All side parts are sketches of rectangles with specified dimensions like all
previous parts that are thickened by Extroded boss, with only the the right
and left side parts having an additional circular hole Extroded cut into them,
to hold the coil which we will be making from scratch.
The coil is made by first drawing a circle in the Right plane and
giving it a diameter
this diameter will be the diameter of every loop in the coil.
After that, we start another sketch in the front plane, where we will draw a
circle and pierce it to the spiral, this will be our coil's thickness. Apply swept
boss and you will have a full coil ready to be attached to the main body
of the Evaporator
 CHAPTER IV

The OPERATION
We talk about the working mechanism and it comes in
first stage:-
which is the fun of pumping water into the coil made of copper
using a cold water pump to make the water flow inside the coil
that is located inside the box that contains the lithium bromide
solution so that it reacts with some of the water vapor and forms
the lithium bromide solution .
The second stage :
is pumping the lithium bromide solution using a water pump and
elecetricty generated by pv cell abd temperature of this pv will
transfare from high to low by pv cell
The third stage comes:
which is the stage of heating the copper coil,
which is located in the part of the generator,
to work to raise the temperature.
It works to increase the temperature of the lithium bromide
solution mixed with water vapor, and the solution continues to
flow within the generation stage until the solution is condensed
and returns again to the box in which it It contains lithium
bromide, and the hot water vapor remains in its path until it
enters the next stage
The fourth stage
It is the condensation stage and the entry of hot water vapor into
the external condenser, which works in a cycle to adjust the
temperature, that is, to reduce the temperature of the gas (water
vapor), provided that the water vapor exits from the condenser at
a temperature lower than the normal temperature (the middle).
The turbo tube stage
comes, which is a tube that works to reduce the gas pressure and
also helps lower the gas temperature .
The last stage comes,
Which is the entry of the gas (cold water vapor) into the internal
unit stage of the air conditioning, and here we use the fan as a
driving force for the cold air of weak density in order to cool the
medium that is unable to be cooled.
The hot air is continued through the last path and enters the
special box with the lithium brimide solution so that the process
is repeated again several times in order to reach the highest
possible efficiency in the medium (I am aware of the cooling
rate in the medium).
