chinese Hybrid Solar Air Conditioners

In high-insolation areas, even flat solar collectors can attain high enough temperatures to make absorption refrigeration begin to look attractive. I don't know about the details of this "hybrid" technology, and any links might be interesting. This sounds like worthwhile research for your region.

Hello,

You can build simple Solar Power ICE making system and use it to lower the temp in the house.

Solar thermal systems are one of the novel ideas of using solar energy in a building. Solar thermal application offers a number of different possibilities. It can be integrated into public buildings like hospitals, offices and hotels and support the supply of air conditioning, lighting, water treatment etc. The Of the various solar air conditioning alternatives the absorption system appears to be one of the most promising methods . Absorption refrigeration research has got enough attention during recent years, specially its potential applications in waste heat recovery, solar energy utilization etc. In Turkey engineers have started manufacturing solar energy based cooling system especially for Middle East countries where up to 80% of electricity consumption goes on operating air conditioning systems. The systems are meant for larger buildings such as hospitals and hotels. The system consists of arrays of solar parabolic trough collectors on rooftops or near buildings, which track the sun throughout the day. The concentrated solar energy heats water to 250°C. The steam produced is used in a double-effect absorption chiller, which allows the steam energy to be used for cooling. Solar energy can be concentrated by parabolic mirrors, which then focus on a receiver containing a liquid medium such as thermal oil or water. The basic principle underlying these "concentrating collectors" is that the area intercepting the solar radiation is greater, sometimes hundreds of times greater, than the absorber area. This difference in size means that the rays striking the receiver are highly concentrated. This concentrated solar radiation heats the medium in the receiver up to several hundreds degrees Celsius, which brings the liquid beyond the boiling point into steam. Direct solar radiation is captured by trough-shaped mirrors known as parabolic trough Concentrator systems. The mirrors are sited along a north south axis and move during the day from east to west, guided by computers to continuously track the path of the sun. The mirrors themselves consist of transparent and silver-coated glass. The radiation, intensified by a factor of 100, is absorbed by black absorber tubes located along the focal line of the trough. Synthetic thermal oil or water circulate through the tubes and are heated up to 400°C. The heated medium then passes through a heat exchanger, creating steam, which runs a steam turbine, operating what is otherwise a conventional power plant.
