Abstract
Over the years, the global energy crisis and the uncertainty in the prices of petroleum fractions have lowered and choked the use of energy for powering both domestic and industrial machines such as compressors, pumps, electric motors and refrigeration systems. Consequently, the cost of refrigerating food items, industrial raw materials as well as low temperature processes becomes very challenging to the engineers and organizations. As electricity production is dominated by indigenous natural gas, coal and hydro which are now under the state of depletion and unsustainable; there is cogent need to device a reliable, eco-friendly, sustainable and cost effective means of generating energy to power most of the important machines such as refrigeration systems. Tailoring to ways and means to reducing the cost of energy consumption in refrigerating plants brought about the model of diffusion absorption refrigeration system where the hermetic compressor is replaced with thermal generator and bubble pump that consume less energy and they are 100% solar powered which makes the whole system economical.
