Dr. Gerhard Kunze SolarFrost Research & Development

SolarFrost History SolarFrost provides research and development (R&D) services for cooling machines powered by thermal energy, provided by solar collectors, district heating or waste heat. SolarFrost cooling machines replace conventional air conditioning products powered by non-renewable energy sources. Our vision is to make this new technology available worldwide, to the benefit of consumers and the environment 1996Development aid co-operation project in 1996 between Austria and Tanzania to develop a solar refrigeration system for milk 2001Foundation of SolarFrost International Ltd. Company financed by an ecologically motivated fund from Hong Kong Various patents for different developments Nomination for ”The EU Co-operation Award for Sustainable Development” - Finalist for the World Technology Awards New office and laboratory in Purkersdorf near Vienna - Foundation of SolarFrost Forschung & Entwicklung GmbH

Ammonia-Absorption-Cooling

Bypass System for Low Cooling Temperatures and High Back-Cooling Temperatures

Efficiency of „Bypass-System at a Cooling Temperature of 15°C

Absorption Heat Recovery in the P-T Diagram pure COP > 1 is possible!

Conventional Ammonia Absorption hardly allows Absorption Heat Recovery pure COP < 1

Bypass System with Absorption Heat Recovery Combination of Bypass System with Absorption heat Recovery: Theoretical COP at heating temperature 65°C: COP = 1,5 Expected: COP > 1,2
