Abstract

This study aims to develop a sustainable cooling solution for refrigeration in remote areas, utilizing solely wind and solar power. Ensuring that the power generated aligns with consumption throughout the day is a critical challenge. The investigation centers on the integration of an energy storage and a compression cooling cycle to attain the desired objective. This system integrates refrigerant storage on both the evaporator and condenser sides. The storage tanks' volume is variable by time and should be adjusted automatically. The sustainability of the cooling capacity depends on the amount of input power and the type of refrigerant. Moreover, additional heat is extracted to produce hot water. The analysis includes the coefficient of performance, exergy efficiency, cooling capacity, total heating capacity, and environmental impacts for six refrigerants R134a, R22, R717, R125, R500, and R407c. The system is configured to offer a cooling capacity of 15 kW while maintaining a temperature difference of 38K. The best performance is achieved using R717 as the refrigerant with a coefficient of performance of 5.26, an exergy efficiency of 36 %, and a payback period of 2.267 in Sabzevar. Furthermore, R717 does not contribute to ozone depletion or global warming.
