Solar Cooling. A Review of Technology, and Feasibility Study for Ager Sectus Winery, Blenhein, New Zealand (2010)
This document reports the results of a study undertaken at the Ager Sectus Winery, near Blenheim, in New Zealand. The study looked at different solar cooling technologies and their possible use in the winery.
The document starts by explaining the different solar cooling technologies (PV, heat engine, absorption chiller, etc). Solar thermal absorption cooling is the most popular air-conditioning application and is used in different parts of the world. The performance of the systems is still variable, but the average payback period is of 15-20 years.
Solar Thermal Evaluations Program Opportunity Notice (2007)
This notice was written by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in 2007. The purpose of this document was to invite proposals to evaluate solar thermal technologies for residential and nonresidential buildings. Proposed projects should be innovative and seek to provide performance and economics data for these technologies, and it the projects are divided into three categories: Monitored Demonstrations, Solar Domestic Hot Water Technologies Assessment, and Technology Feasibility Study.
