Abstract
The performance of a solar ejector cooling system is simulated using three different collectors: a conventional flat plate collector, a high efficiency flat plate collector and a vacuum-tube collector. It is shown that with the proper selection of the generating temperature an optimum COP can be achieved. The solar ejector cooling system using the single-glazed solar collector with selective surface and an enhanced air insulating layer can be most economical when operated at the optimum generating temperature of the ejector cooling machine. In this case, the solar system cost is around 1 USD per watt of cooling capacity for air conditioning applications. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
