Abstract
In the present study, cooling of a duplex house placed in Isparta province by using solar-powered single effect
absorption refrigeration system, which uses water-lithium bromide (H2O-LiBr) mixture, was evaluated in
details. Firstly, the cooling load of the house was determined as 19.34 kW. In order to provide the cooling load of
the house (19.34 kW), the heat required for the generator was calculated as 26.76 kW, and the required collector
surface area was determined by considering different types of collectors (flat plate and vacuum tube) to meet
this heat capacity. In order to provide the cooling load of the house, the required surface area for the vacuum
tube collectors was calculated as 10.32 m2 while it was found as 25.95 m2 for the flat plate collectors. It was
concluded that the usage of vacuum tube collector with 57.9% efficiency is more appropriate since the required
collector surface area is 15,63 m2 less than the required collector surface area for flat plate collector.
