Agro Fossil Free - Overvågning og simulering af parabolsk kollektordrevet dampabsorptionskølesystem til brug for kølerum i landdistrikter

General beskrivelse

India is one of the largest contributors to the world’s agricultural products. The majority of people’s livelihood in India depends on agriculture and its allied sec-tors. According to an economics survey in the agricultural year of 2019-2020, India is estimated to have produced around 292 million tonnes of food grain. The share of agriculture in India’s GDP is 19.9%. Even though India is an active participant in global agricultural trade, the total agricultural product export is only 2.5%. Agricultural produce is easily perishable and the quality gets affected which will then affect their market value. To meet the future food demands, agri-cultural produce must be able to store for a longer amount of time for round the year availability. The traditional food storage practices cannot satisfy that condi-tion. These perishables need a proper cold supply chain to increase the shelf life. In this paper performance of a parabolic trough collector integrated vapor ab-sorption refrigeration system was developed and studied. Renewable integrated cold storage would open door to the sustainable energy future.
