3. Motivation for solar cooling Savings in primary energy consumption
Reduction in peak electricity power demand
Reduction in CO2 emissions
Refrigerants without global warming potential; favorable: water
All-season use of the solar thermal system: heating, cooling, domestic hot water

20. Complete the technical development of existing SolarChill prototypes -> to make the SolarChill concept suitable for use in temperatures over 45°C.
support for set-up of a production line at the local manufacturer Palfridge (Swaziland)
Emission reductions:
Direct: every operational SolarChill unit avoids refrigerant emissions of approx. 0.2 tonnes CO2eq during lifetime usage.
Indirect: 0.5 tonnes CO2eq /a per appliance (from avoided use of fossil fuels for electricity generation) 30.08.2012
21. a small country in Southern Africa
Population: 1,185,000
most Swazis live in rural homesteads
the principal occupation is either subsistence farming or livestock herding
22. Why Southern Africa?
Why Swaziland?
69% of the population lives in poverty
highest HIV infection rate in the world (26% of all adults)
Tuberculosis a significant problem, 18% mortality rate
lowest life expectancy in the world at 31.88 years
There is the need for a sustainable solution for refrigerating vaccines and food!
24. The philosophy Sustainability
Simplicity
Safety

27. Cost of refrigerators
28. MC72-Medical Unit Perfect equipment for hospitals, clinics, and ambulances.
Chest type unit, 2 compartments: Vaccine storage + Freezer
Mechanical damper regulates the amount of cooling and keeps it 2°- 8°C.
Dampers and controller are preset to achieve optimum vaccine temperatures in all ambient temperature conditions.
Ample insulation also allows for vaccines and medicines to be safely stored for extended periods of time in low light conditions.
29. Operating Principles
30. LC86-Commercial Merchandiser This is a commercial merchandiser comprising of controller and Danfoss BD35k compressor.
Beverages are stored in shelf suspended from the top of the cabinet.
The unit has a ballast load. The remainder of the space is filled with products.
The controller is pre-set to achieve optimum beverage temperatures in all ambient temperature conditions.
31. LS150-Domestic Unit is designed for the storage of fresh food, and is aimed primarily at rural homesteads and areas with intermittent power supply from the national grid.
It is a single door design with separate fridge and freezer compartments that are able to maintain temperatures from 2-9°C.
Ample insulation also allows for food to be safely stored for extended periods of time in low light conditions.
The controller is preset to achieve optimum fresh food temperatures in all ambient temperature conditions.
32. Next Steps: New design…new challenges.
We need to preserve medicine food & beverages for human consumption at high ambient temperatures ( 48°C ) using solar energy without the use of chemical storage batteries.
Optimization of the product MC72
Result: an upgraded product MC73 with following improvement :
significantly larger vaccine storage volume (above 50 l)
significant reduced power consumption through utilising a new type of evaporator integrated with the ice keeping department
completely battery free operation
self cleaning condensor
full conformity with the WHO specifications
-> Agreement with NGO and distribution in Southern Africa
