... been a growing interest in the literature to enhance the performance of parabolic trough collectors, either thermally or optically [ 30 – 32 ]. Improving solar collectors can significantly impact the overall performance of the system it is coupled with (e.g., using an absorption chiller). In a previous...

...Cenker Aktemur; İlhan Tekin Ozturk The interest in absorption chillers for air conditioning applications has increased recently due to the negligible electricity requirement. Especially in Turkey, where the potential of renewable energy sources such as solar energy is high, it is possible...

... factor for energy consumption reduction strategies and alternatives in the data centers. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of an absorption chiller driven by solar thermal energy as cooling plant alternative for data centers. Source primary energy consumption is used to compare the performance...
