limitations of solar powered refrigeration system (over conventional refrigeration system
Answers
Answer:
The need for renewable energy sources is on the rise because of the acute energy crisis in the world today. India plans to produce 100 gig watts of solar power by the year 2022, whereas we have only realized 2.7 gig watts of our potential as of March 2015. Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. Our project essentially focuses on developing a solar photovoltaic cell based thermoelectric cooler which can function as the air conditioning system in automobiles. In doing so, we can restrict the fuel intake which is needed in the compressor in conventional automobile air conditioning systems. The main objective of our project is to design & make analysis of a Cooling system which utilizes non-conventional energy source (i.e. Solar Energy) with the help of Thermoelectric Module which works on the principle of the Peltier effect. This will be a suitable & affordable system for the people living in remote part of India where load shedding is a major problem. The major difference between the existing system & our system is that, our project works without use of mechanical device & without refrigerant too. As the module is compact in size one can design (i.e. shape, capacity) the system according to his requirement. It is an attempt has been made to conduct an experimental study on small scale solar operated thermoelectric Cooling system
