Task 48 - Quality Assurance and Support Measures for Solar Cooling
Task 48 Highlights 2012
January 2013 - PDF 0.17MB
The demand for air-conditioning is rapidly increasing, especially in developing countries. And the potential for solar cooling to meet this demand is immense. The results of past IEA SHC work in this field (most recently, SHC Task 38: Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration) have demonstrated the technology’s potential for building air-conditioning, particularly in sunny regions, and identified work needed to achieve economically competitive systems that provide solid long-term energy performance and reliability.

Keeping Cool with the Sun
Latest Developments on Solar Cooling and Task 48 Short Presentation

Worldwide, the energy consumption required for cold and air conditioning is rising rapidly. Usual electrically driven compressor chillers (split units) have maximum energy consumption in peak-load periods during the summer. In the last few years in Southern Europe this has regularly led to grids working to maximum capacity and blackouts. In recent years, the sales figures of split units with a cooling capacity range of up to 5KW have risen rapidly.

IEA SHC Task 48 Flyer
Quality Assurance and Support Measures for Solar Cooling
October 2011 - PDF 1.09MB
By: Task 48
A tremendous increase in the market for air-conditioning can be observed worldwide especially in developing countries. The results of the past IEA SHC Tasks and works on solar cooling (ex : Task 38 Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration) on the one hand showed the great potential of this technology for building air-conditioning, particularly in sunny regions. On the other hand, it has been shown that further work is necessary in order to achieve economically competitive systems and which presents solid long term energy performance and reliability.
