... out within the MENA region on solar cooling technologies is presented. The solar cooling cycles reviewed are the adsorption, absorption, solid desiccant, liquid desiccant, ejector, and solar electric-driven cycles. The interest over time and across countries in each of these cycles is also discussed...

...Takahiko Ono; Takeshi Yamaguchi; Hironori Arakawa The influence of a dye adsorption solvent of an infrared organic dye (NK-6037) on solar cell performance was investigated in a mesoporous TiO 2 dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). Various types of alcohols and a mixture of ethanol and tertiary-butanol...

... photodegradability with respect to that of Ti O 2 , while that of resorcinol is not altered. These studies show that catechol and resorcinol adsorption patterns are different, i.e., they have different adsorption centres on the catalyst surface and are differently affected by photonic flux variations. Nae-Lih...

...Wen Wang; Tianfei Qu; Zhonghua Li; Ruzhu Wang Quantitative thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that an adsorption refrigeration cycle could get higher cycle performance by employing a suction line heat exchanger (SLHX). Low temperature evaporated gas not only helps to cool down the adsorbent...

...T. F. Qu; W. Wang; R. Z. Wang Mass recovery can play an important role to better the performance of adsorption refrigeration cycles. Cooling capacity can be significantly increased with mass recovery process. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the activated carbon/ammonia adsorption...

...R. Z. Wang; M. Li; Y. X. Xu; J. Y. Wu; H. B. Shou A combined cycle capable of heating and adsorption refrigeration is proposed, and the experimental prototype has been installed. The system consists of a heater, a water bath, an activated carbon-methanol adsorption bed and an ice box. This system...
