Objetivo SOCOLD aims at the development of a cost effective small sized lSkW) solar cooling system based on adsorption technology and new high temperature (120¦C) solar Compound Parabolic Collectors (CPC). The new CPC solar collectors were previously developed in a past CRAFT project [JOR3-CT97-7001] by SOLARFOCUS (A). Two different cooling levels shall be achieved by low pressure adsorption meaning solid gas sorption technology most probably using pure water as liquid phase: -18¦C for building air conditioning (AC) and pure methanol for low temperature below the freezing level (FROST) for food conservation. Consequently it will be an non polluting process. The consortium will not only target an energetically efficient system but will keep the cost aims in mind in order to provide a product ready for market penetration after finalisation of the project. These ambitious aims shall be achieved by a well balanced international consortium containing the necessary critical mass. Whilst CNAM-IFFI (F) will target the FROST area, FRAUNHOFER (E) will focus on the AC development. SOLARFOCUS will improve its existing high temperature CPC solar panel based on the conclusions of the above mentioned CRAFT project. Finally two 5 kW prototypes will be built by 2 SMEs: FAVIER (F) and SORTECH (0) and tested under real field conditions at 1 end-user location in Spain. The energy management will also playa decisive role. PROFACTOR (A) will bring in therefore its know how concerning alternative refrigeration methods gained in former RTO projects as POLAR [CRAFT-1999-71242] or EJECTOR [JOR3-CT98-7007]. In order to prepare a fast market penetration, SOLARFOCUS' distributor in Spain, AL TERSUN, is included in the Consortium. AL TERSUN will not only involve its (potential) clients in order to build up a reliable data basis concerning the end-user requirements but will be responsible for the long term solar tests of the collectors and the integrated system field trials.
