Abstract

Experiments on solar powered refrigeration in the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) are currently aimed at developing an ammonia-water absorption system that can be used without auxiliary power in remote areas to produce ice or cool storage. The results are now fully documented in two research reports published by the Renewable Energy Resources Information Centre in AIT [1,2].
