Abstract

This paper presents some of the experimental evaluations of a prototype solar refrigerator, based on an intermitent thermodynamic cycle of adsorption, using water as refrigerant and the mineral zeolithe as adsorber. The objective is to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of the eventual use in rural regions of Peru. On the bases of the results obtained, a new prototype of refrigerator for rural regions is designed, based on the same thermodynamic cycle, but including changes in design and operation.
