Abstract:

 Energy study is conducted on the design of a cooling system powered by solar energy and used to perform the cooling process of a convenience store according to local environmental conditions. The main object of the study is to optimize the characteristic design parameters of the air conditioning system by utilizing solar energy as an alternative to conventional electrical energy. Energy and mass balances are established for the different parts of the convenience store to determine the heat gain by heat transfer in the building and the cooling load required to maintain a constant inside air temperature of 22C. An air conditioning cycle with return air is considered to provide the required cooling capacity. Rechargeable storage system battery is defined to cover the no sunshine period. Technical research is included to determine the size and number of the photovoltaic solar panels required to provide the electrical power needed for the cooling system operation of and the batteriy charging. Suitable electrical and control equipment are selected from manufacturer catalogs.

 Güneş enerjisiyle çalışan bir soğutma sisteminin tasarımı üzerine enerji çalışması yapılmış ve yerel çevresel koşullara göre bir bakkalın soğutma işlemini gerçekleştirmek üzere kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın ana amacı, geleneksel elektrik enerjisi yerine güneş enerjisini kullanarak klima sisteminin karakteristik tasarım parametrelerini optimize etmektir. Bakkalın farklı bölgeleri için enerji ve kütle dengeleri kurulmuş, binada ısı transferi yoluyla ısı kazancı ve iç hava sıcaklığının sabit tutulması için gereken soğutma yükü belirlenmiştir iç hava sıcaklığı 22C. İhtiyaç duyulan soğutma kapasitesini sağlamak için geri dönüş havasıyla bir klima devresi ele alınmıştır. Güneş ışığı olmayan dönemleri kapsamak üzere şarj edilebilir depolama sistemi pil tanımlanmıştır. Soğutma sisteminin işletilmesi için gereken elektrik gücünü sağlamak için gereken fotovoltaik güneş panellerinin boyutu ve sayısı belirlemek için teknik araştırma yapılmış, uygun elektrik ve kontrol ekipmanları üretici kataloglarından seçilmiştir.
