Güneş Enerjisinin Soğutma Sistemlerinde Kullanımı: AVM için Enerji Performansı Değerlendirmesi

In this study, the applicability of solar energy assisted absorption cooling systems instead of electrical driven mechanical cooling systems, which are widely used in shopping centres, is investigated. When the consumption profiles of these enterprises are examined, it is noteworthy that the increased cooling demand in the summer months coincides with the solar energy potential. In addition, the fact that the total construction area is high compared to the roof area provides a suitable infrastructure for the installation of large solar collectors and makes the use of solar energy in cooling advantageous. With this method, a sustainable air conditioning model emerges in which the building produces and consumes its own energy. According to the modelling results, the Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) system and absorption cooling integration can meet 60-68% of the total cooling demand from solar energy. In SM2 scenario, it is determined that external energy demand can be reduced by approximately 90% with storage integration. In the SM1 and SM1.5 scenarios, the roof area required for PTC installation is 4,000 m², while this area requirement increases to 8,000 m² in the SM2 scenario. The amount of energy recovery can be increased by applying advanced technologies in energy storage and optimising the system parameters. In this way, the return on investment will be reduced.
