ABSTRACT
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from a substance under controlled conditions. Refrigerator is a reversed heat engine or a heat pump which pumps heat from a cold body and delivers it to a hot body. The substance which works in a heat pump to extract from a cold body and to deliver it to a hot body is called refrigerant. Refrigeration is an accomplished by various methods, such as the vapor compression system, absorption system, and steam jet refrigeration cycle the vapor compression system of refrigeration cycle. Thermoelectric couples are solid-state devices capable of generating electrical power from a temperature gradient, known as the Seebeck effect, or converting electrical energy into a temperature gradient, known as the Peltier effect. To assist the thermal designer in thermoelectric coolers or Peltier modules, C&R Technologies' tool suite provides built in routines for standard Bismuth Telluride coolers or modules manufactured from alternative semiconductor materials. The family of TEC routines provides the designer the ability to model single stage or multi-stage coolers, and calculate valuable sizing information regarding cooler performance. Solar electricity is the technology of converting sunlight directly in to electricity. It is based on photo-voltaic or solar modules, which are very reliable and do not require any fuel or servicing. Solar electric systems are suitable for plenty of sun and are ideal when there is no main electricity. INTRODUCTION
Solar air conditioning refers to any air conditioning (cooling)
system that uses solar power.
This can be done through passive solar design, solar thermal
energy conversion, and photovoltaic conversion (sunlight to electricity) Photovoltaic's can provide the power for any type of electrically powered cooling be it conventional compressor-based or adsorption/absorption-based, though the most common implementation is with compressors. For small residential and small commercial cooling (less than 5 MWh/a) PV-powered cooling has been the most frequently implemented solar cooling technology. FACTORS AFFECTING HUMAN COMFORT
The important factors while designing any system of comfort are
• Effective Temperature • Heat production & regulation in human body • Heat and moisture losses from body • Moisture content of air • Quality and quantity of air • Air motion • Air stratification
Physiological hazards resulting from heat and extreme cold are
Ductless Mini-Split Window Air Conditioner Portable Air Conditioner Floor Mounted AC Hybrid / Dual Fuel Air Conditioner Smart Air Conditioner WORKING PRINCIPLE WORKING PRINCIPLE (LAYOUT)
WATER PUMP This water is cooled / heated by the principle of see beck effect. SOLAR PANNEL
REFRIGERATION EVAPORATOR UNIT WITH The combination of n-type and p- BATTERY UNIT BLOWER type semiconductors thus constitutes a photo-voltaic cell or solar cell. • It works on the principle to run air conditioner by solar energy. • Solar energy received from the sun is concentrated
WORKING on the solar panel to convert it into electric energy.
• It is connected to the battery to store the converted DESCRIPTION electric energy in it. • Then the battery is connected to the inventor and inventor is connected to air conditioner. • When the necessary connections are made the air conditioner starts and gives desired cooling. AIR CONDITIONING COMPONENTS
Thermo Electric Zip cooler
Air Conditioner Blower with DC Motor “A process of treating air so as to control DC Water Pump simultaneously its temperature, humidity, Copper Tube with Joints cleanliness and distribution to meet DC Battery requirement of the conditioned space MS Square Frame & Nylon Tubes Solar Panel WORKING OF THERMO ELECTRIC ZIP COOLER
It has a long pedigree. Using a combination of
the See beck, Thomson and Peltier effects, cooling occurs when electricity flows.
The Cool Chip creates a thermal difference
(cooling) from electrical power.
Used for heating and cooling by simply
reversing the direction of the DC current. SOLAR PANNEL
(PHOTO VOLTAIC METHOD)
The photon has to be absorbed in the active part of the material.
Result in electrons being excited to a higher energy
potential.
The electron hole charge carriers created by the absorption.
The charge carriers must be removed from the cell &
delivered to useful load before they lose extra potential. ADVANTAGES
Simple in construction It is portable Its operate in battery Maintenance cost is low Solar panel is used This project is non-conventional DISADVANTAGES
• High Initial Costs
• Reliance on Weather • It does not purify air • This system is noisy in operation • Deterioration of Solar Panels APPLICATIONS
Domestic Application
Office and Bank Application
It is very much useful in College & Schools
CONCLUSION
In this changing modern world every day there is a new discovery in all fields of science and technology. In this project the working is slightly modified with an addition air cooler. If one utilizes energy which goes as waste even more useful things can be made. Solar powered air conditioning is environmental friendly and it also helps people to save money. Although it may seem a lot at first, it will become very helpful in the future, not only for ourselves but also to our earth. REFERENCES
