Qualitative review of thermoeconomic analyses in solar refrigeration systems applied to absorption chillers

The implementation of solar refrigeration in absorption chillers has been a topic widely researched in the scientific community in view of the search for compatibility of the thermal comfort standards required in the current century with the need to search for the consumption of sustainable energy sources in refrigeration equipment. Based on this scenario, this work aimed to conduct a qualitative literature review of thermoeconomic analyses in solar cooling systems applied to absorption chillers. As a result, a volume of research was obtained in three basic categories: energy and exergetic analyses in low capacity chillers, effect of the climate on the thermoeconomic performance of absorption systems by solar refrigeration and the implementation of cogeneration systems using solar energy as one of the sources.
