Storing of products at their recommended storage temperature plays a vital role in products cost estimation especially in hot and humid climate. In this paper, a simulation of a solar assisted adsorption refrigeration system utilized in cold stores applications is carried out for hot-humid and hot-dry climatic conditions. Then an optimization based on the system design parameters have been performed to get the optimal system performance and maximum solar fraction. Finally, the optimized system performance characteristics have been evaluated monthly at different product storage temperatures for different climatic conditions. Reported results revealed that, an optimum solar collector area of 40 m², storage tank volume of 1.5 m³ and collector flow rate 1000 kg/h are required to achieve an annual solar fraction of 0.79. Based on the annual system performance, SF and COP increase as cold store temperature increase for both climatic conditions. In fact, hot-dry climate has higher SF and COP at 13 °C than hot-humid by 6% and 11%, respectively. Furthermore, the economic assessment of the proposed system showed that the minimum LCOC of 0.203 USD/kWh is found at hot-dry climate at cold store temperature of 18 °C while the highest LCOC of 0.485 USD/kWh occurred at hot-humid environment at 13 °C.

在推荐的储存温度下储存产品在产品成本估算中起着至关重要的作用，尤其是在炎热潮湿的气候中。在本文中，模拟了用于冷库应用的太阳能辅助吸附式制冷系统，用于湿热和干热气候条件。然后基于系统设计参数进行优化以获得最佳系统性能和最大太阳能分数。最后，针对不同气候条件在不同产品储存温度下每月评估优化的系统性能特征。报告结果显示，最佳太阳能集热器面积为 40 m ²，储罐容积为 1.5 m ³需要 1000 kg/h 的集热器流速来实现 0.79 的年太阳能分数。根据年度系统性能，SF 和 COP 随着两种气候条件下冷库温度的升高而增加。事实上，干热气候在 13 °C 时的 SF 和 COP 分别比湿热气候高 6% 和 11%。此外，拟议系统的经济评估表明，在冷库温度为 18 °C 的干热气候下，最低 LCOC 为 0.203 美元/千瓦时，而在 18 °C 的湿热环境中，最高 LCOC 为 0.485 美元/千瓦时。 13℃。
