Subtask A
Survey of Solar Assisted Cooling
The objective of Subtask A was to provide a picture of the state of
the art of solar assisted cooling. This included evaluating completed
solar cooling research programs and evaluating projects realized in the
past. Subtask Lead Country: Mexico
Subtask B
Design Tools and Simulation Programs
The objective of Subtask B was to develop design tools and detailed
simulation tools for system layout, system optimisation and development
of advanced control strategies for solar assisted cooling systems. The
main result was an easy-to-handle
design tool for solar assisted cooling systems dedicated to
architects, building engineers and planners.
Subtask Lead Country: Germany
Subtask C
Technology, Market Aspects and Environmental Benefits
The objectives of Subtask C were to provide an overview of the
market availability of equipment suitable for solar assisted
air-conditioning and to support the development and market introduction
of new and advanced systems. Design guidelines for solar assisted
air-conditioning systems were developed. Main results were summarized in
a
handbook for planners. Subtask Lead Country : Netherlands
(until 2002), Austria (2002-2004)
Subtask D
Solar Assisted Cooling Demonstration Projects
Eleven demonstration projects were carried out and evaluated in the
framework of Task 25. The objectives were to gain practical experience
with solar assisted cooling in real projects and to make data real
performance data available. Also the suitability of the design and
control concepts were studied and reliable results about the overall
performance of solar assisted air-conditioning have been achieved.
