In recent years a new development happened in solar refrigerator design by eliminating expensive and problematic energy storage batteries. The technology so-called, direct-drive refrigeration technology uses solar power to freeze water or other phase change material. During the night and cloudy days, the refrigerator uses the ice bank for cooling and maintaining the setpoint temperature. The direct-drive refrigerator is directly connected to the photovoltaic generators and which can run in low voltages
Can anyone explain how to calculate the cooling load of (W) refrigerator including energy storage in ice bank for the night and cloudy days? How to calculate the required level of PV panel? Some examples would be very useful . Thank you
