The research group of the University of Perugia, Department of Industrial Engineering Department, has been actively working since many years on alternative refrigeration technologies, and in particular on absorption systems [1, 2]. During the last two years, the attention has been focused on the design, realization and analysis of a solar cooling plant with a commercial small size absorption machine, for the air conditioning of an office building. An experimental plant has been realized at the aim of verifying the performance of the machine with different external conditions, and validating the data sheet of the manufacturer. The solar cooling plant, its monitoring system and the first measurement campaign are described in the paper.

Abstract
The research group of the University of Perugia, Department of Industrial Engineering Department, has been actively working since many years on alternative refrigeration technologies, and in particular on absorption systems [1, 2]. During the last two years, the attention has been focused on the design, realization and analysis of a solar cooling plant with a commercial small size absorption machine, for the air conditioning of an office building. An experimental plant has been realized at the aim of verifying the performance of the machine with different external conditions, and validating the data sheet of the manufacturer. The solar cooling plant, its monitoring system and the first measurement campaign are described in the paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
