Peak cooling demand in summer is associated with high solar radiation availability. This offers excellent opportunity to exploit solar energy with thermal technologies to cool the building efficiently. The presenters discuss the basics of solar thermal cooling and case studies of actual solar thermal-assisted air-conditioning installations, PV/thermal desiccant dehumidification systems and solar-assisted absorption cooling. The learning outcomes are to identify the main components of a solar thermal air-conditioning system and understand the process flow of a thermally driven chiller.
