Solar-Assisted Air-Conditioning in Buildings: A Handbook for Planners
Description:
This second edition of a hugely important work on this subject still plugs a gap in the literature. It is a source of crucial support to the planner in the design of solar assisted air-conditioning systems, which use solar collectors as a heat source. Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries and a promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air conditioning systems. However, until today only a few systems have been installed world-wide and design and operation experiences are fairly poor.

A summary for solar cooling developersNov 03, 2009
By Lorenzo patroncini
"Lorenzo Patroncini"
It's a good book, written to have a global look over solar cooling technologies, not interested in technical details of plant componets. What is missing, is a more detailed chapter of real cases. It would be a good thing if there were more detailed plant schemes.
