Abstract:-
Refrigeration and air conditioning have become a need in today's world. The demand for air conditioning has expanded dramatically as technology has advanced. In addition, CFC refrigerants used in vapor compression refrigeration systems endanger the ozone layer. It's past time to put solar refrigeration on the market. It does, however, necessitate a more sophisticated setup and is currently explored. If the system can be linked to a hot water supply, it could be cost-effective. The goal of this paper is to construct a reflector-assisted analyzer and rectifier. As a result, the arrangement can meet the temperature requirements even in cold weather, making it useable all year. In this paper, it is concluded that the black chrome selective coating panel, which is normally used in a water heating system, can serve the purpose of the generator and a paraboloidal dish for the analyzer should be provided with the system for making the solar refrigeration system. Using a black chrome panel and electroplating on the dish of paraboloidal concentrator with reduced diameter shows the satisfactory result.
