2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 WP 3. EVALUATION OF AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND BEST PRACTICES. OVERVIEW
The WP3 of SAHC consists of an identification of the best practices and technical guidelines at the present status of the art for solar assisted heating and cooling systems. Besides the description of the technology collected from on-going and finished projects, also the evaluation of performance and costs of available technologies for low temperature absorption cooling has been done in the framework of this activity. It includes solar thermal collectors and storage and absorption chillers. Finally the know-how learnt has been reflected in functional schemes, including solar collectors, absorption chillers, thermal storage and back-up systems for the application of solar assisted heating and cooling systems in the agro-food sector. This work-package has been divided in two subtasks:
1. Task 3.1 Studies, best practices and guidelines 2. Task 3.2 Technology analysis and functional schemes
The present report collects the results of TASK 3.2.
2.2 TASK 3.1 STUDIES, BEST PRACTICES AND GUIDELINES
In this subtask, the technology description and the best practices on demonstration projects for solar driven cooling applicable to industrial production have been assessed. The information has been collected from previously funded EU projects and collaboration networks as TASK 25 and TASK 38 of the International Energy Agency, Solar Heating and Cooling Programme, as it is listed below:
1. Task 25. Solar Assisted Air-Conditioning of Buildings. IEA-SHC Programme 2. Task 38. Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration. IEA-SHC Programme 3. POSHIP: The Potential of Solar Heat in Industrial Processes. EC DG Energy

2.3 TASK 3.2 TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS AND FUNCTIONAL SCHEMES
From previous activities in the project, the information about the most suitable equipment for solar assisted heating and cooling systems in agro-food sector has been determined. Components, ranges of size and characteristics have been defined. A survey has been performed on the market, contacting producers of components, to update the available information. A number of manufacturers for each component have been selected and the average performances and range of cost has been defined. This part of the study has evaluated:
• The applicability of available technologies for solar driven cooling with relation to the load profiles identified before and to different typologies of solar collectors (in relation to the temperature needed for the heat source and to the different climatic conditions)
• The configuration and operational modes presently applied for the integration of solar assisted heating and cooling systems.

General featuresflow medium hot waterdescription Double-covered flat-plate collector with large-area modules
"The Gluatmugl HT collector achieves low heat loss values with the aidof a double cover: in addition to the outer glazing, an inner cover wasadded to reduce convective heat losses. The outer cover consists of a high-transmission solar glass (···). The inner cover consists of a transparent and high temperature resistant plastic film (Teflon FEP100)stretched at collector assembly in order to reduce slack. A back insulation of 120 mm mineral wool, that is thicker than in standardflat-plate collectors, has also been incorporated to reduce heat losseson high working temperatures" [1].

The concentrator consists ofaluminum sheet kept in shape by specially manufactured aluminumprofiles. Additional stiffness is provided by a torsion tubemounted at the back of the concentrator. Up to four modules installedin a series form a row; five rows can be connected to a single driveunit that is tracked via a rope and pulley arrangement. Mounted in thefocal line is a stainless steel absorber tube with a 38 mm diameter that has been galvanically coated with a selective surface.

3.2 THERMALLY DRIVEN CHILLERS
The solar cooling systems can use all the thermally driven chillers present on the market that are water fired or steam fired. These equipment have been usually developed to use waste heat in industrial processes, or to be applied with cogeneration units or district heating networks. Depending on the temperature level required in the water or the steam in the generator, the solar collector field must be selected to obtain a good performance at that temperature level. As well, depending on the kind of cycle, single effect or double effect the coefficient of performance of the chiller can be around 0.7 (single effect) or around 1.2 (double effect). The common market of thermally driven chillers was extended for large capacities, from 150 kW (cooling capacity) to 3 MW. Some Asian manufacturers introduced the first models for capacities under 100 kW with the limit of 35 kW. However, some low capacity units (from 5 to 30 kW) have been recently developed from several European manufacturers. The thermally driven chillers can work with different pairs of absorbent-refrigerant. Each one offers special features:
• LiBr-H2O: this is the most extended for air-conditioning applications to produce cold water between 7 ºC and 18 ºC.
• H2O-NH3: this system permits to obtain temperatures below 0ºC for freezing and industrial processes.
• LiCl-H2O: new recent development has been introduced in the market with this pair of substances for low capacity applications. The advantage is that the LiCl permit to form crystals to store the energy in the absorbent.
The data sheet presented for each case show the following information:
• Manufacturer: data of the manufacturer or provider that supplies the equipment
• General features: general description of the equipment • Product data sheet: main data of the equipment such as the cooling capacity,
the nominal temperatures (input and output) for each of the circuits (generator, evaporator and condenser-absorber) and the limit temperature (input or output) for each of the circuits, the power capacity, the dimensions and the weight.
• References: some references on solar cooling were the equipment has been applied
• Picture: image of the equipment • Recommended flow sheet: in several cases the manufacturer suggests a
certain flow-sheet. • Performance: graph of capacity and coefficient of performance depending on
the different temperature levels of operation. • Specific costs: cost per unit of surface of solar collector • Delivering time: time when the provider supplies the equipment.

Each subsystem contents the data shown in the following table Data used for the SAHC project have been obtained from the ROCOCO project, in which AIGUASOL was one of the participants. General data from which these curves were provided came from the firms ARSENAL RESEARCH, CONNESS and teamGMI from Austria, HSF from France and AIGUASOL and FOTOTERM from Spain. The sources of data and hypothesis were the following:
The costs of installations of solar systems to supply hot water at temperatures of DHW and with the conditions of DHW
Real offers from the market about equipment of conventional installations Transport has not been finally considered. Data of real costs of plants already installed has also been considered of
some installations (D4 from the SAHC projecty Due to enough information per each country were not available, the costs
curves are the same for all the places.

5 CONFIGURATION SCHEMES
The hydraulic scheme showed in this chapter is the one recommended for the solar cooling and heating systems suitable for the agro-food sector with the basis of applications and energy demand determined in the WP 2 of the SAHC Project. This scheme has been chosen to optimize the use of heat at different temperature levels. Four different levels have been considered:
• SCOOL: air-conditioning; cold water at 7 ºC-15 ºC • SHT: high temperature hot water at 65 º C – 85 ºC • SMT: medium temperature hot water at 60 ºC – 20 ºC • SBT: low temperature hot water lower than 20 ºC
The re-cooling of thermally driven chiller is though from the cooling tower or from an industrial process at low temperature. Two storage tanks have been introduced to improve the stratification and to operate the solar field at the lowest temperature. The pumps in the primary and secondary loop of the solar field as well as the process distribution pumps have been considered at variable flow.
