Saudi scientists launch solar-powered air conditioning project

• King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy intends to prove effectiveness of the technology in an industrial setting

King Abdullah City for Atomic as well as Renewable Energy (KACARE) has actually launched a project created to show the performance of renewable resources. Particularly, it aims to show how solar thermal innovations can be utilized in industrial procedures, specifically to power air conditioning systems.

It becomes part of the 2nd round of a campaign introduced by KACARE, under the patronage of its president, Khalid Al-Sultan, to center renewable-energy innovations and empower the commercial market in this area.

This project will add to initiatives to decrease the dangers related to making use of solar cooling technology. KACARE shares the prices of bringing the modern technology to the Saudi market to ensure that it can prove its efficiency in a real-world project in the Kingdom.

Programmer Green Air aims to show that locally made a/c units fitted with photovoltaic solar panels can supply between 70 as well as 90 percent of the power required for cooling. Together with the Engineering Research Center at King Fahd University of Petroleum and also Minerals, the firm will evaluate its technology to prove its effectiveness using straight and also indirect evaporative air conditioning.

This technology is exclusively qualified as well as in your area made, and also meets requirements established by the United States Green Building Council, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and also Quality Organization, and the Electrical Testing Laboratories. The project will be executed in two areas owned by the National Agricultural Development Company and also the United National Dairy Company.
