Leonics Sun Cool™ - Solar Assisted Air Conditioning System

Leonics has designed, installed and set up this system for maximum solar applications. This system uses heat from the sun and pass through the process called "Solar Collector", which evaporative tube collector collects the heat, the heat pipe heats the liquid flowing through the tube and the hot water is delivered to store in the storage tank. Then the hot water is pumped from the storage tank to the absorption chiller to transfer the heat to the coolant for cooling water. At the fan cool unit, the cold water is delivered to transfer the heat for decease the temperature. Within the absorption chiller, the absorber evolves the heat so the cooling tower is used to ventilate the high temperature to outside. When the sunlight is not visible or at night, the backup heater, which is automatic control is added. If the water temperature that is supplied to absorption chiller is below the temperature setting, this added system would start operation and if the water temperature that is supplied to absorption chiller is equal the temperature setting, this added system will stop operation. The suitable water of the water ventilated air conditioning system come from water softener system, which help reduces the scales.

The system has been installed and applied at Solar Assisted Air Conditioning System Demonstration Project for the Testing Building in Energy Park, School of Renewable Energy Technology, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok.
