To reduce the fluctuation of the heat source water temperature and ambient temperature caused by variations in solar radiation, a solar absorption refrigeration system with a supplementary biomass combustion device for the office area of a factory was designed. A numerical model of the solar energy absorption refrigeration system based on the Aspen Plus software was developed. In particular, the effects of the heat source water temperature, condenser temperature, evaporation temperature, and dilute solution flow rate on the cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, unit equipment duty, and generator temperature during actual operation were investigated. The heat load of each piece of equipment in the unit were found to increase correspondingly with the increase of the heat source temperature when the evaporating temperature and condensing temperature are constant. The coefficient of performance of the unit decreased as the condensing temperature increased keeping the temperature of the heat source constant. The results demonstrated that the flow rate of the dilute solution has effects on the occurrence temperature, cooling capacity, and the unit performance coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
