Solar-Powered Refrigeration System

总结

Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have patented a proven, solar-powered refrigeration system that eliminates reliance on an electric grid, requires no batteries, and stores thermal energy for efficient use when sunlight is absent. The innovation uses a variable speed, direct current (DC) vapor compression cooling system, connected to a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel via novel electronic controls. This environmentally friendly system is ideal for use in commercial or household refrigerators, freezers, vaccine coolers, or solar ice-makers. It is particularly ideal for off-grid applications.
