Abstract

The purpose of the presented work is the development of a design methodology for solar refrigeration systems which facilitates the economical evaluation of business opportunities for milk cooling in rural areas of the tropics and subtropics. The approach includes an study of the required cooling curves, experimental performance analysis of a solar fridge, annual simulations and evaluation of system profitability.
