ABSTRACT
Tropical
or subtropical countries are very suitable for the development of solar and
heat pump technology. This paper proposed the integration of air conditioners
that exhaust heat with solar energy to enhance the overall efficiency of
thermal energy conversion. The analysis of thermal storage tanks of different
volumes showed that a two-ton air conditioner operating for an hour produced
double energy than normal sunshine for a day. With thermal storage tanks of
fixed volume, the integration of air conditioners of different tons with solar
energy indicated that air conditioners of less tons produced faster and more
efficient energy conversion. Therefore, this paper proposed that the
modification of condenser in domestic air conditioner into water-cooled
condenser not only enhance the energy efficiency of air conditioners but also
increased hot water supplies since hot water from air conditioners could be
integrated into solar water heaters. By doing so, energy conservation and
carbon reduction could be achieved.
Keywords: Air conditioner; energy
conversion; solar energy; thermal storage tanks
ABSTRAK
Negara-negara tropika atau subtropika
sangat sesuai bagi pembangunan teknologi tenaga suria dan pam haba.
Kertas ini mencadangkan perintegrasian penyaman udara yang menggunakan
haba dan tenaga suria untuk meningkatkan kecekapan keseluruhan penukaran
tenaga haba. Analisis tangki penyimpanan haba dengan isi padu yang
berbeza menunjukkan bahawa penyaman udara dua tan yang beroperasi
selama sejam menghasilkan tenaga dua kali ganda daripada cahaya
matahari untuk satu hari. Dengan tangki penyimpanan haba dan isi
padu yang tetap, integrasi penyaman udara daripada tan yang berbeza
dengan tenaga suria menunjukkan bahawa penyaman udara dengan tan
yang rendah cepat menghasilkan dan lebih cekap dalam penukaran tenaga.
Oleh itu, kertas ini mencadangkan pengubahsuaian kondenser penyaman
udara domestik ke kondenser pengairan sejuk bukan sahaja untuk meningkatkan
kecekapan tenaga penyaman udara tetapi juga menambah bekalan air
panas memandangkan air panas daripada penyaman udara boleh diintegrasikan
ke dalam pemanas air suria. Dengan melakukan demikian, pemuliharaan
tenaga dan pengurangan karbon boleh dicapai.
Kata kunci: Penyaman udara; penukaran tenaga; tangki penyimpanan
haba; tenaga suria
