Solar absorption cooling feasibility

The feasibility of small scale solar absorption cooling systems is dependent upon its technical and economically competitive position with respect to other cooling systems alternatives. Technical feasibility can be shown by comparisons of the thermodynamic efficiency of solar absorption cooling with conventional vapor-compression cooling equipment and by reference to numerous experimental evaluations. Economic feasibility is heavily dependent upon the financial parameters assumed (in particular the inflation rate of conventional fuel costs). In particular cases, i.e. particular assumptions of the financial parameters, economic feasibility of solar absorption cooling can be demonstrated.
