Dimensionamento de um sistema de refrigeração por absorção solar para conservação de medicamentos em comunidades rurais de Moçambique sem acesso à rede elétrica

Abstract

The present work presents the design of a solar absorption refrigeration system for the conservation of medicines in rural communities in Mozambique without access to the electrical grid. The system uses the heat from solar energy to produce cold. The system design begins with the performance of the thermal balance of each device in the EES software, to obtain the heat demands of each one. Based on these demands, the system devices are sized using Excel software. Subsequently, solar collector that can meet the thermal energy demands are selected, and the necessary mass of the thermal fluid for heat storage is determined.
