N2  - Solar Cooling Technologies presents a detailed study of the potential technologies for coupling solar energy and cooling systems. It starts with the theoretical background on the refrigeration cycles and their thermodynamic analysis followed by a description of different technologies for solar cooling. Each technology is explained individually and compared directly with a techno-economic analysis on a small-scale basis with focus on technical aspects. The technical description of the available solar collectors and how the well-established adsorption and absorption cycles can be coupled with solar collectors and their potential in terms of efficiency and ability, is discussed
